3 months in

Hello Everyone --

This is my first official post. I started running about 3 months ago. I use to be a smoker and couldn't walk up a flight of stairs without getting winded. Now 3 months into my non-smoking, running lifestyle. I have been able to run up to 6 miles without stopping.

Right now, I can pretty easily run a good 5k without to much strain. My goal concerning this is to increase my speed. My speed for a 5k currently stands at about 34 minutes. I would like to get this down to about 24 minutes before October.

I also hope to work over the next year to be able to run a half marathon next spring. I have been slacking a little bit of the last month. (been pretty warm out) But I hope to get back on track with a 4-5 day a week training schedule.

With this blog, I hope to track my journey. Not only with my running goals, but with my life in general.

I am married to a wonderful man, he basically understands me 100% which is the main thing a girl needs. He is also very supportive of whatever I decide to do. ((i.e. running -- he is my number one fan!)

I am the proud parent of two mini dachshunds -- one cute and cuddly lover and one anti-social -- over the next year I am going to be working on bringing my anti-social doxie up to speed with her brother.

I am going back to finish my BA in about 20 days!

I will elaborate on all these things more in the future, but this stands to be a basic introduction of who I am.
