Married.  Stay at home mom.  My husband and I have 2 daughters and 4 sons.  And I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

With a seemingly impossible long-term goal of running a sub 3 hour marathon, the following scriptures give me hope:

In your patience possess ye your souls. Luke 21:19

But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. James 1:4

But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Romans 8:25

Submit cheerfully and with patience to all the will of the Lord.         Mosiah 24:15

And Ezra teaches that discipline and patience are born of disappointment.

Fartlek workout with MAT (Michelle, Amber, Tom) and Ali this morning...good little group of speedsters! 

Warmed up a couple miles.

Ten fartleks each about 2 minutes in duration.  (Quite different than the fartlek workouts I use to do with Sarah.)

Not too cold this morning and it helped I think.  The moon was full; that helped more!  Michelle ended up taking a dip in the stream!  No...not the fun kind and a muddy one at that.  Just another reason I avoid mid-run potty sessions at all costs.  Sorry Michelle...your a tough little chicka, if that makes you feel any better!  And hey, no worries for you...practice makes perfect.  If I'm having issues, my run is (at times) a done deal until I can take care of business.  It's not pretty.  Three weeks pregnant.

Forgot to start my watch again, at one point.  Time 1:18(?)

Jamie - I think we'd all benefit from you telling us how you did your fartleks. Tom and I couldn't come to terms on what this fartlek work out would be and in the end I just told him he was in charge! If you can't describe adequately on the blog then make sure we talk about it tomorrow morning in our run.

You did awesome this morning. I was wondering if you were going to say something about needing to wheel the workout. Let us know when you buy the wheel and we'll all do the 3 mile tempo with quarter splits as Sasha suggested(assuming you want company).
