Running Accomplishments:

I have always loved running, but started running marathons in 2008, I havent had any training(at that distance) and have struggled to get a good time. I also have been running with some slower groups, which doesnt help. my fastest marathon is 4:36, I know its not impressive, but I am commited to 3:10 this year. I CAN DO IT!!!

Short-Term Running Goals:

I aim to be in the best shape of my life, physically and emotionaly. I want to compete more, 5K, 10K, half and full marathons.

Long-Term Running Goals:

I really want to keep my self in shape and exercised, maintain a good cardio work out.

Holy HOT and HUMID again. I guess I need to wear a sweat band. I felt ok today, I did my run yesterday in the afternoon and that made it alittle harder for me, and I went alone. I like to be with others, especially if they are pushing me. I am trying to hit the goals Clyde is setting for me, this week is 40 miles, thats only 29.3 left for 4 days. My garmins battery was dead today, best I can say is a 8:30 pace.

Don't worry about pace at all. In this heat just running is winning the battle. Good luck with the rest of the week. Sometimes if you feel like it you could do like 5 in the morning and then 2-3 at night just to tack on mileage.

Thanks Clyde, I really appreciate the advice, I am feeling better every day. yeah the heat sucks, I will try to not worry about my pace, but thats hard for me. :)
