Personal:

I've been running since I was 11, but mostly just for pleasure. For some reason, I have absolutely no competitive drive. I'd like to get one.

I'm married to a non-runner, but a supportive one, and have two young boys.

I coach boys and girls cross country and have coached for 8 years.

Running is not my number one priority. Like everyone else on this blog, I wear a lot of hats: Catholic, mother, wife, teacher, coach, student, runner. At this point in my family life, and probably until I'm done having kids and they are able to come with me on runs, running can only happen when circumstances permit. Luckily they usually do.

I'm guessing on the distance, but I know it's close. I ran out behind my school. It was probably unsafe, since the roads I ran on have not been opened yet and I forgot my own reminder to bring my cell phone.

I'm probably going to run there again tomorrow. The one good thing about my class is that I have free time between 3:30 and 5:00, so I can run outside while the sun is still out.

The weather was nippy, but sunny, probably in the high 40s. Since I was adequately bundled up, it felt nice.

My pace was okay, but I did get bored 1/2 way through. I need a running partner...

"Ran" for a 1/2 hour on my home machine. It sucks. It's not even really running...

I'm teaching a class now 3 nights a week. That also sucks...The only good thing is that I should be able to get in a run right after school since my class doesn't start till 6. I think I want to go over to Mahomet to run the trails there, but we'll see. I might just run at Parkland since it's closer to school.

We had company this weekend. Got in a run this morning, but I felt rushed.
