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.

18 miles up/down Provo Canyon on the trail after the kids went to school. I didn't get in a run as long as I wanted on Saturday because I was short on time and didn't want to run in the dark with my still hurt ankle.

I really wanted one more longer run. I still had a little of the "dead leg" think going on and had to stop to stretch in the first mile but after that I felt pretty good. I had a 7:23 pace when I turned around a couple miles up South Fork. I was pushing the pace coming down to try to get my pace under 7 min and barely did, 6:59 average. I was just happy I actually felt like I could push the pace. All year long I've felt like my body wouldn't allow me to really push myself because everything felt so tight and just not right.

8 miles to Timpview high school and back after the kids went to school. I didn't feel very good, so tired from Monday and Tuesday. At mile 6 I stopped and stood on the side of the road wishing I had just gone 6 miles. Average 7:22 pace.

13 miles down AF Canyon on the old AF 1/2 Marathon course. Met Melanie, Kim, Jane and Josse for this run. It was raining a little, but not too cold and a lot of fun. Melanie and Jane went faster than us, I ran with Kim the whole way and Josse was close to us. Avg 6:40 pace.

I had Josse work on my again the day before and it seemed to help. I had only a little dead leg feeling starting out, but not enought that I had to stop. It bothered me a little the first 2 miles then went away after my first water/stretch stop.
