12 Hilly Miles + 1 Mile Cool Down With Puppy
Michelle and I ran from my house down to the Burke-Gilman Trail. Our goal was to get in some serious hill work for Boston and for The Western States 100. Michelle and I averaged a 9 minute mile, completing our 12 mile run in 1:48.14.
Murphy and I did a cool down mile, his first run! He is 11 weeks old. He made it 1 mile with his new leash. I bought a leash that goes around the waist. He kept getting his leg caught, so we had to keep stopping and fixing it. We also had 2 potty stops. Our run was 16:13, a little slow for me, but lots of fun for him!

Although I got a late start, I’ve been a serious runner since 1994. I ran my first marathon in 1995 on my 30th Birthday. It’s been my goal to run the Boston Marathon since then.

The fact that you have to qualify, only fueled my competitive juices.
Over the next 9 years I ran 6 more marathons. I love running so much that I became a

Hey lisa…are you hurting today? Man my hips are pissed!! Off to the trail run for my volunteering duties, thanks for everything yesterday. That workout was “money in the bank”
I’m feeling okay. My glutes and hamstrings are a bit fatigued, but no joint pain. I agree, that was good training.
CUTE PUPPY!
VERY CUTE!
