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 @ avg 7:10 pace with Melanie. Kim and Jane ran with us for 10 of the 18. This week's run seemed to go by faster than last weeks run. I felt a lot better than last week too. I was worried I might struggle after my harder runs on Tuesday and Thursday and only getting 5 1/2 hours of sleep last night, but was pleasantly surprised. The thermometer at my house said 26 so I dressed for that, but in Lehi it was only 16 and I was really cold the first two miles. Once I got "warmed up" I felt ok, but by the time I drove home I felt cold all the way down to my bones so I sat in the hot tub.

My brother talked me into doing the 1/2 marathon Spartin race here in June. The website describes it as "an obstical course from hell." Some of the obsticals look really hard. I'm worried I won't finish because I won't be able to climb the 20 foot rope etc. This week I tried to do some pull-ups and luckily our pull-up bar is down low for our 10 and 8 year old boys because I had to put my feet down and totally cheat in order to get myself up. I've got a long way to go when it comes to upper body strength.

You're so skinny though that you'll be cranking out pull ups in no time.
