5 Miles Tempo - 1 Murphy Mile
I ran a hilly tempo run 5 miles at 39:49. Murphy, my 12 week old puppy did a cool down mile with me. He did much better this week. He ran under 11 minutes, nearly cutting off 6 minutes off last week’s time. I stopped my watch for one potty stop. Good Job Murphy!

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. I missed qualifying by 12 minutes that year. I needed to run 3:40 and ran 3:52. Running in the most prestigious marathon, is the ultimate for most runners. 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
