Goal Type:

Unknown

Running Accomplishments:

Completed a half marathon (mostly walking).

Short-Term Running Goals:

Jog a 5k in under 37 minutes. Lose a few extra pounds along the way. Make it to the top of Mount Timpanogas and hopefully back next year.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Stay within 10 lbs of my husbands disgustingly low weight.

Personal:

I am a mother of four kids ranging in age from 15 to 3. Thus the extra weight that I need to lose. I am a military spouse who has thus lived all over the place. We have been married for 18 years.

I'm a Wogger. Meaning I walk/jog. I would not call it running and I only joined the FastRunningBlog because my husband ArmyRunner made me and Sarah threatened to try and convince me also.

Ran a practice 5k to start out today.  Thank you sarah for watching Jordan and making this possible.  I ran a 36:36.  The first mile was only a 12:27 because I am really slow til I get a little warmed up. the next  mile was 11:39 and the 3rd was 11:35. then I sprinted(for me) the last .1 in 55 seconds.  I walked/jogged the rest after i caught my breath.  Sarah said I don't need to run the race on monday because I already met my goal.  My crazy husband says I should run a sub 35.  ( as I said CRAZY)

I think you can run a low 34 in a competitive situation, especially given your splits in the training run.

thanks for saying so but then again you are the crazy person my crazy husband trains with. I'll give it my best shot but I do not like having too high expectations or I come down really hard on myself if I do not reach them.

Yes...they are both crazy...before I read Sasha said I thought he would say something like what Ted said. They may be crazy but you should believe them. I'd love to run the race with you and help you meet your goal...you may even go faster than Ted or Sasha are saying just because you'll start out fast and everyone will be racing around you. I always try and start out at a brisk pace that I think feels faster than what I train at but something I can hold for the whole race. I am really not into killing myself in a race or any type of situation because I know I'll be paying for it while I'm trying to mother my children. We'll see what you are capable of and I think you will be pleasantly surprised...not to mention the fact that you go much longer than 3 on average so it is a short distance. I'll see you on Monday.
