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.

10 miles avg 7:06 pace and I felt horrible. About 2 miles in I felt weak and shakey. I tried to do some speed work and ran about 1 1/2 miles at a little faster pace, then 1/2 mile slower then tried to go fast again and I just couldn't do it. I stopped and stood there 1/2 mile later then tried again and stopped again. I decided to just do an easy run, but I never felt good. It was so strange.

I slept fine. I'm either fighting off sickness or it's because of the food I ate the last few days. The Relief Society gave us left over food from a funeral Tues because my brother/sister-in-law had the ambulance at their home next door and I watched their kids (including twin babies) in the afternoon while they went to the hospital with their daughter. Everyone was sick but the babies so I was around a lot of germs. Wed I ate at the scout banquet. As I was feeling so yucky all I could think about was all the margarine that I'm sure was on the white french bread I ate. I just don't feel as good when I eat that kind of stuff, and I had it two days in a row. Hoping to feel better Saturday for a long run.
