Personal:

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.

Seriously sad that I didn't get to do the trail run that was planned.  Became one with the "dread-mill" this morning.  The alternative blizzard was worse; I will admit it.  Poor Tom and Michelle raced the Nutcracker 5k in it this morning!

Here's how my workout went:

Warmed up 3 miles

3/4 mile transition - faster pace

3 mile tempo at 6:27 pace

1 mile easy recovery

1mile repeat at 6:27 pace

1/4 mile easy recovery

1 mile repeat at 6:27 pace

1/4 mile easy recovery

1 mile repeat at 6:11 pace

3/4 mile cool down

Jamie I still think a run outside in nasty wet, slick conditions still beats a treadmill run anyday!

Great job on the very tough workout, especially having to do it on the treadmill! If I'm reading this correctly it looks like you cranked out 3 straight miles at 6:27, followed by 3 more mile repeats with a killer 6:11 on the last one! That's 6 miles total of seriously speedy running. Good work!

Good job on your run today! That's one hard workout!
