The Training Blog of PAMELAJEAN

Hi everyone!!
It’s been a while since I have posted anything. Well, I am happy to report that I am officially a marathoner! Sept. 14 I completed the Maui full! It took me 7 1/2 hours and I got dizzy and felt sick to my stomach at mile 15, BUT, I completed it and came home on the plane with a medal around my neck. This may not sound all that great to you elite runners, BUT, since I run/walk … or “ralk”, as I call it … it was for me. It was an hour more than my projected time, but all in all I was so emotional and happy that I finished that I think I was more worried about just finishing than my time at that point!! It was an incredible experience and all my Team in Training members were waiting at the finish line just for me!! All of the training and hard work definitely paid off in the end!
I also just completed the Denver half marathon on Oct. 19th and did okay with that one too. I went into it feeling like with the altitude difference and the mountains that I could finish in 3:15-3:30… and my actual chip time was 3:19! My goal of completing a half marathon in every state is well on it’s way. There is no giving up now, that’s for sure!! I’ve talked my sister into training for the half in Duluth, MN for next June and I have a friend at work that wants to do the Princess Half in Disney next March! Whoo … hooo … no telling who else I might get hooked! I even joined a local 24hour fitness club yesterday evening that is to open in November sometime. Whew … lots to do in my lifetime! Hope this finds everyone well and working towards their own personal goals! Good luck ya’ll!!
Pam
