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. It was 12 degrees when I woke up so I decided to wait until later in the morning to run. I worked on my computer until 10:30 a.m. then looked at the temperature on my screen. It said 19 degrees and I thought, "I waited all these hours for only 7 degrees!" But when I checked my clock/themometor in my kitchen it said 26 degrees, much better.

When I left my house I only had 1 hr 14 minutes until my daughter was getting off the bus from kindergarten. I wanted 10 miles and knew I needed to run about 7 min miles to get it done. Two traffic light stops, two short drink stops and a 6:50 pace got me home with 4 minutes to spare. I felt so good. I guess that's what happens when I get 8 hours of sleep for several nights and cut back on the sweets.

You are thinking about it all wrong; consider how much BETTER you would feel if you hadn't cut back on the sweets. Nice pickups to get home in time.
