Running Accomplishments:

Lifes battles dont always go to the fastest or strongest man but sooner or later the man who wins is the fellow who thinks he can.

Short-Term Running Goals:

Many of lifes failures are from people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up

Personal:

I am Kira Morris I am 23 years old and Married to My Husband James Morris We have been happily married for 4 years now

I am new to the running world but I have been exercising and trying to stay fit for about 3 years now

My Dad died when I was 16 years old, and a lot of my family has health issues so eating right and being Healthy is important to me.

I know I can do hard things, and I don't believe in giving up. I also think Life is what we make of it and that Happiness is a choice

I am excited for Life and where it takes me

Weights. I came late so I had to hurry. Ran 6.34 the first 3.4 miles I ran at a 8:34 pace which makes me proud because the new treadmills seem to be faster and more accurate then the old ones. If I could just keep running that pace the whole time. Baby steps I suppose :) Happy Friday. Seeing the Avengers tonight! Thor.. *Drool*

No weights. I was over it. I stayed up late last night watching the avengers. I just wanted to put in my time and get out and go back to bed! 8.10 miles on the TM. A little more then half of that was at the pace I like to run at 8:34. Soon I should be able to keep that pace all through out my run soon.. Though I do need to go outside more and work on that as well. 40 minutes arc machine.

Weights. 3.4 miles on the TM. Ran to the river trail and back to a church where we were parked. Average pace was between 8:15 and 8:35 the whole time!!! Sooooo impressed with myself because that was the first long run i'd done outside, AND to run that fast. :) Thanks Jessica for running with me and for giving me the self esteem boost I really needed!! Hobbler half, here I come!! Huzzah!

7.62 miles out on the river trail with friends :) 8:30 minute pace. 45 minutes elliptical. Not gonna lie.. I feel pretty exhausted right now... but I know with each passing week it will get easier and easier and I had a lot of FUN! :D  James and Emily did around 28 minutes for their 5 K. James said he slowed down the last .50 because he thought they had another 2 miles to go. Otherwise he would have booked it. Not bad for not training and just waking up one day and deciding he was gonna do it. Emily's husband was 21 something. (Who is a soccer excellent soccer player)Proud of my whole family for running! Congrats guys! and thank you to all my lovely friends who ran with me this morning :)

Four miles on the river trail with Julie. We ran on the cement and I think that aggravated my foot a little bit. Ill be sure to run on the pavement next time.

Ran from my house up to the gym, crossed over to the road heading to fresh market, down canyon road, past main street light, over my friend Lacy's house and back to mine.  This was kind of a hard run. I didn't realize there was a incline clear up until canyon road. It was windy and cold. I'm sure I was going slow as Ill get out. Kinda getting nervous for hobbler half. I think I need to find someone to help pace me. hmmmmmmm btw... the mileage is just a guesstimate. I may go back with my car, I may not have the time though. My brother is in ICU and plan to go visit him.
