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.

15 miles with Melanie, Kim and Jane down AF Canyon to Gold's Gym in AF.  Melanie threw up at mile 4 and kept on going.  Kim and Jane were talking away and I felt like if I said anything I wouldn't be able to keep up.  I felt like I ran really hard and, according to my last summer standards, it wasn't that hard.

4 miles with Marie and Melody.  Melody is so cute pregnant.  Running with Marie is like a therapy session because she always makes me laugh so hard.

18 miles.  Melanie was gone to a race so I asked Marie to run 10 miles with me.  She's the only person I know who can regularly run 8 min miles for months and still be able to bust out a 10 mile run at 7 min pace.  We ran a hilly route from my house out past Timp View High School and back.  avg 7:06 pace.  I think I was more tired than she was.  Brent came on his bike with me for 8 more.  Avg at end of run 7:08 pace.  Was discouraged to be so tired running so slow.  Right now I can't imagine running a sub 3 at the Salt Lake City Marathon on April 19th.  I need to just enjoy that I can run at all and be happy with whatever I get. I just want to finish feeling good, haven't done that in a while, the only marathon I did last year was a disaster.  Hoping for more fun this year.

15 miles.  I thought I was just going to go 12 or I would have been more nervous about this workout.  5 mile warm-up on treadmill.  10 x .5 mile with .25 recovery.  2 @ 10, 3 @ 10.1, (little break), 3 @ 10.2, (little break), 2 @ 10.2.  I felt like I was going to throw-up after #8 and again after #10.  Then Melanie and I ran a 3 mile cool-down outside.  Felt like I worked really hard.
