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 don't have any miles to log.  i just wanted everyone to know that i haven't fallen off the face of the earth and that i have modified my ambitious goals a bit.  i have been running after school on most days, but instead of knowing the distance, i only know for how many minutes.  on average, i am probably running just ten miles a week.  i am still playing volleyball and doing a variety of other things, such as yoga and taebo.  last night i spent about an hour goofing off on my gazelle.  does anyone remember those things?!  i bought mine for a few bucks at a yard sale.  it is not good equipment for keeping your heart rate up, but it is great for doing various stretching and strength-building exercises.  it is like doing simplified yoga on a platform, i guess because it encourages fluid movement.  anyway, i hope everyone is doing well!

well, i did better than expected.  i ran it just as well as last year, which surprised me since i've been training about half as much.  this gives me hope that i am in better shape that i've been thinking, so now i know my potential if only i'd just stay focused!  today i start running with the high schoolers for real, so that should help.  the previous weeks i have been running, but just for fun.  now we'll be getting into competition mode!

8:13/mile isn't bad for me!
