2012 St. George Marathon 2:54:39 Long-Term Running Goals: I love to run! I want to feel good and run for a very long time. Personal: My husband Brent and I live in Orem with our three kids ages 12, 10 & 7. Brent is a Marriage and Family Therapist and I'm at home with the kids. I used to be a CPA, but now I just do a little bookkeeping from home. For a lot of years running a marathon was something I did to get back in shape after having a baby. Just finishing was accomplishment enough, now I want to finish faster.
I ran the St. George Marathon in 3:18 when I was 18 and set a record for my age division 15-18. Now I train with the girl who broke my record. I love the marathon and half marathon. Long runs are what keep me from going crazy. Favorite Blogs: |

| Time to start blogging again. I took most of October off after the marathon to recover. I had terrible issues with muscle cramps, the same problem I had last spring. I realized it was brought on by a medication I took for my sinuses in February and again right before the marathon. Worked through that then was sick for a month in December/January. I'm finally feeling better and think I might be able to really train again. I hope this year is better than last year. It's not starting well, but last year was so bad that this year is bound to be better.

| Melanie and I ran 8 miles outside in about 20 degrees. It wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. I ran about a 7:08 average pace. Then we hit the treadmils at Gold's Gym. I did 7 x 1 mile @ 6:15 pace with 55 sec standing recovery between. I woke up so tired and felt like I was just on autopilot.
This next part will either be funny or too much information for some people: When I came in from my 8 miles outside and took my long pants off I saw I had blood on my light blue shorts. I thought, "I'm not going to quit my run because I'm bleeding. I ran down the canyon last summer with blood all over these same shorts and that turned out fine." So I hopped on the treadmill and started running. Two ladies came up to me at different times to tell me I had a problem. It wasn't until a mile or so after the first lady came up to me that I realized I had another pair of shorts in my bag I could have put on, on well. By that time I only had a few miles left and didn't want to ruin my intervals with minimal rest to change my shorts. This is why black shorts are best.
