What distance for repeats should I concentrate on? There is a 15K race about a month before the race, should I do it? Should I throw in a few 10 K races? I tend to be more of a “just happy to be here and get the T-shirt” type of runner. I’d appreciate any advice on how to think of myself as more of a competitive runner. I tend to fall back on mind talk of: “hey, what the heck am I thinking, I’m a 41-year-old part-time working mom, why push it…” .

I'm not really sure what you're asking for so I'll just respond with what I know about running like a mom. One of the fastest women I know is a 47 year old mother of 4 who trains like a badass (I know because I see her out on the roads in the early mornings when I'm out training like a dad of 4.) She just ran Boston and would have qualified even if she were 20 years younger. It's a state of mind, really.
