The day has come and passed! I completed my first of many marathons on Sunday, January 15th, 2012 at a time of 4:37:29. One of the most challenging but enjoyable days I have experienced in my short 29 years. I can not express my gratitude to the family and friends that were able to come and cheer me on. It really helped to keep me running and I loved giving sweaty hugs along the way!
I have to say a special thank you to Tim, for running the race with me and making it fun. You have been one of my best friends for almost 8 years; always there for an challenging adventure and ready to support me along the way. I can not wait to see you complete an IRONMAN!!
Next up is the 2012 Austin Half Marathon, in almost one month. This means hill training and speed work once I am recovered, hopefully in a week. I am going to try to break my PR for a half marathon. Let's see what happens!
Love,
Lauren

Tick tick
The marathon ticker now says" 4 days, 8 hours, 6 minutes." 4 days to complete some easy tempo runs, hydrate, carb load, plan song mix, finish race gear, and get some extra rest somewhere in the middle.
This week I will also receive something near and dear to my heart: HLSR Rodeo Committee Badge!
The SCC committee events for myself start February 17th, just days before the Austin Half Marathon.
4 days, 8 hours, 0 minutes!!!!

Welcome 2012!
Happy New Years everyone!
It is now 2012: the year I will turn 30; travel to Miami; travel to NY; set a new PR for a half marathon; increase my expertise in treating pediatrics; and run my first marathon!!
I completed my last very long run this past Friday; a grueling 20 miler. I realized I need electrolyte replacement around mile 16 and the power of pacing my mileage. Thanks to my wonderful parents, I finally have a Garmin and feel even more excited every time I run. I have been told I love to plan and sometimes control things, so this is my perfect match!
It is 10 days till the race tomorrow. It is hard to believe time has flown by. My life is much different than when I started this blog, but I am so happy things have fallen into place as they have.
Cheers to another wonderful year and to you!!
