Updating my Blog

Wow, I think I actually forgot I had this blog. I apparently set this up back in 2007 after just finishing my first Half Marathon in Virginia Beach. Timing is interesting since I will be doing my second Half Marathon in 16 more days at the same place.
A lot has happened since my last blog entry. I have been certified as a personal trainer and will be working on getting certified as a running coach, hopefully over the summer or early Fall, with RRCA. I have been a basketball coach now for Middle school girls for 3 years, and I took on the title of Head Coach for Track and Field last Spring, so this will be my 2nd year at coaching both Middle school and H.S Track.
On the running front. I have completed my Baltimore Marathon in Oct 2007, but although I finished it, it took me 5: 28 to do it. A lot of ITBS pain in miles 18-26.2, it was one of the hardest physical things I have ever done, aside from giving birth to all four children.
Currently, I am getting ready for Half #2 at Shamrock, a COMEBACK 5k (I call it) to beat my best 5k time of 25:38 ran two weeks after my Half. The same situation is presenting itself once again, so I feel the need to revisit that little race, and ROCK with a new 5k PR!
Training is going well, so I will be back soon, to report on those two races, the Half and the 5k. I want to break 2 hours for my half, the first one was 2:03.
