Reached the big goal!

Even after completing a marathon I still could not run a full 5k without taking atleast 1 walk break. Well yesterday at the 5k in Swainsboro Ga (for the first time) was able to run the entire race without having the take that little rest walk. I usually always do 7:1 Galloway ratio's whether im just training, doing a 5k or the marathon! so now im on a mission! Even though im slow I feel like a reached a big goal. =) I also got 2nd place in my age group and got a really nice trophy. The best part of all was getting to help my mom run in the last .25 of her race and she also placed 2nd in her age group. That's the first award she has ever received..ever.. of any kind! So she is really excited about all of this and THAT makes me really happy! =)

IM BACKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!

ok so I took a little break from running. I'm back and training for my next marathon that is in less than 8 weeks. The Run 4 Missions 5k was this past weekend. I had my 2nd fastest time but I was actually really proud of the consistency of the pace. I tried to hold a 7:1 ratio. EVERY run I do now regardless of low long or how far I try to run 7 minute and take a 1 minute walk break. This is my goal for the marathon. I want to chill and actually enjoy it without killing myself.

Kona Hawaii June 28th..... ohhh yeah =)
