For Mom

My mom has been bugging me to update my blog :) so here it goes:

My running has been basically in maintenance mode, I've had my miles around 45 per week (or so), and this week and next I will creep it closer to 50. I started back to some speed work, just to get back into that mode since I hadn't done any in a while! Since I have a few half marathons coming up, the speed work is kind of geared towards that distance. This Sunday is the Women's Half marathon and I plan on treating it more as a training run-sort of a tempo run (a very loooong tempo run). If that goes as planned, I will be more prepared to race the next half marathon which is on December 12th. After December 12th, my Boston training plan starts (!) which is an 18 week Pete Pftizinger plan.

My mom, my sister Amy, and my Aunt are all coming into town this weekend to also participate in the Women's Half marathon. I think this race is going to be a lot of fun, I know so many people who are running it!

My other exciting news is that I have registered to attend Personal Training Education at the Cooper Institute in Dallas at the end of November. I have always thought of becoming a trainer, but just hadn't taken the time to go through the education and certification. I am excited to start my class!
