Short-Term Running Goals:

ok, i think i seriously over-estimated myself, at least for now.  my new goal is to truly find passion for running and to not feel so overwhelmed by the accomplishments of others.  i am who i am, sam i am. lol.

Long-Term Running Goals:

i am confident that i will some day run in the boston marathon at an 8-minute mile pace or less.

Personal:

i am a free spirit, so passion i do not lack, but stability i do.

i am a high school spanish teacher and have been to spain, el salvador, cuba, and ecuador.   

i coach girls cross country.  we made it to semi-state this year and have our eyes set on state next year!

i love practicing yoga and hope to practice more consistently, especially during these up-coming winter months.  my dream job is to be a yoga instructor.

i am obsessed with books, magazines, and online newspapers.  i also really love childrens' books in spanish.  they are neat!

i am taking voice lessons, ha!

i like art, but am really bad at it.  :)

my ex-boyfriend and paul petersen ran cross country and were in a band called "gold bug" together, lol.  this is my version of a claim to fame.  :-D

i'm so excited!  i improved 13 minutes from my time last year.  if i do that again in '09, i will meet my goal of 1:40, which was my original goal when i started this blog.  so maybe it's a year later, but there's hope for the future!  maybe i'll get even faster since training has started to mean so much to me.  i've been training hard for the last two and a half months and i'd like to keep going.  my fastest 5K went from a 24 something to a 23 something, so that's exciting too.
