Hi All,

I am a 31 year-old, married mom of a 19 month-old girl. I work part-time as a PA. I have done with halfs but never a full. I am planning on running the full Fox Cities marathon in Neenah, WI 9/19. I do most of my runs at 5:30am so I am done by the time Eleanor gets up/I need to leave for work. I plan on doing my long training runs with a running group starting mid-May. These runs are at 7am on Saturdays.

    Hi Dianna!

    I'm Heather, proud momma to a 3 year old and a 17 month old, both boys. I'm in college full time and work two very part time jobs (one in the exercise science lab at school, and I bartend occasionally).

    ANYWAY, I'm working towards Marathon #5, Vermont City Marathon in May! I ran my first 2 after my oldest was born, and the last 2 this past year after the baby was born. To be honest, I never fully trained very well for either.

    This time around, I'm really focusing on my training, as I know I can do much better than the 4 previous marathon times I've posted!

    Glad to be here in the group!

    Wow! You lead a busy life! Your marathon is fast approaching. What has your longest run been for training for this at this point? What are you going to school for?

    I'm going to school for exercise and sports science, and I'll graduate with my BS next spring! Longest run at this point has been 13 miles. I fell a few weeks behind on my training because I came down with the flu (the "mouse flu" I call it, as I caught it in Disney World, lol).

    This marathon will be fun, but I'm REALLY focusing on my training for Chicago marathon on 10/10/10. I would LOVE to break the sub 4 hour mark!! It's going to be a long, hot summer of training!
