Tempo Run + Weights
I was a slacker yesterday. I spent most of my time driving the kids around and trying to catch part of the Seattle/Greenbay Game. Too bad Seahawks!

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

Hi Lisa! thanks for the comment!
I’m aiming for under 3 hours (if i could really have my way i’d be in under 2 hr 30 min but i dont know if that’s realistic - While I’ve lost over 50 pounds, I still have quite a ways to go. i rarely am able to sustain a pace faster than 13 min mile… eeeesh. but i’ll get there,eventually 
I was in the Chicago Distance Classic. I finished in 3hr 22 min, which is surely slow. My goal was to finish and to not focus on time. This year, my goal is to beat last year’s time
