Here we go again...

I didn't even update my 10k race!! I was very happy with the result. It was a 51:41. I was first in my age group for the first time ever!! The 2 girls I was training did very well also. What a great day!

Since that time, I have been steadily training for the half marathon with Jeff. I found out that I am headed to St. George for the Marathon in October! I am a little nervous because I am not sure if my speed will come back in time. Patience, patience.

I was lucky enough to go to Ogden to run Kristyn's first marathon with her. I joined her at the halfway mark. It was awesome to be there with her to see her acccomplish her goal! While waiting, I was able to see my good friend Chelle run by. She looked fantastic!! I was so happy to see her and I knew she was going to get her BQ!! Here is her report.

That report has inspired me to get my blog going! I want to track my training. I have 2 weeks until the official training starts. For now I am focusing on my eating. I bought the book "Racing Weight" and I am seeing what I can do to slim down. :-) I know it will help. I am tired of being ruled by sugar, so that is what I am cutting out. 90 days of no added sugar. This will help me!

Tomorrow is my first pace run. I am going to go by heart rate and just see where I am. 5 mile pace run. My goal will be to keep my heart rate below 191. I WILL report back. Is this my year?! We will find out... stay tuned...
