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.

Yes I said 8 miles.  I do not know what on earth possed me to wog 8 miles, with a stroller, ending with a mile straight up the hill to my house.  Averaged just under 15 minute miles but I am paying for it now.  My legs feel fine and I knew I would be tired but I never knew that my back could feel so sore and still retain the ability to walk.  Stupid aren't I?  I should have given myself a couple more weeks pushing the stroller on average walks before trying anything so ambitious.  I am ever so grateful for painkillers!!

Wow! Don't feel stupid. When you do eight again in a few weeks, it will feel easier because you will already know you can do it. Way to push yourself. Enjoy how short your workout will feel today!

8 miles is great! I'm impressed with you tenacity for training. I think you are doing awesome...As far as our crazy husbands go I guess when you run as much as they do you kind of do start thinking a bit crazy and wanting to convert everyone to the cause but at least it keeps them out of trouble and we love em...what can we say? I do feel lucky to have a husband dedicated to my health but I've found that I have to make sure that I don't do things that I'll resent later because then I'll get mad at him about it.

8 miles!!! Way to go!!! Yes, I too believe in pain killers. Best invention ever - for overzealous workouts and childbirth. ;o) I over did it on my very first workout. It had been 7-8 months since I had done ANYTHING because I didn't feel good my last trimester and then I had a newborn and no sleep. So, on my first day out I went 4 miles. It felt good while I was walking, but it hurt for days after. Ugh. Just know you're in good company!!!! Wow, I checked out your husband's blog. He's quite the runner. You and Sarah must find a LOT in common. :o)
