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.

21 miles with Melanie B avg 7:16 pace. We met Kim and her friend Shondie (spelled wrong, I'm sure) for 12 of the middle miles. Only 17 degrees outside.

At the dinner table the night before my son commented on how fast the temperature was dropping saying, "When I went out to kick the football at 4:00 it was (certain temperature) and when I came back in it was (another temperature) and when I went back out at 5:30 it was __ and now it's __. If it keeps dropping like this it'll be negative 50 tomorrow morning." I said. "I hope it doesn't go lower than 28 because that's my comfort level for running," and my husband said, "That's a pretty cold comfort level."

Hmmm...is there any chance that you're part witch? Witches like the cold. So I hear. Hey, how's the pull-ups coming?

Well, I'm still not able to do a complete pull-up all by myself yet, but I think I'm putting less weight on my legs and when I get to the top I actually lift them off the ground a little. I do 2 or 3 sets of 10 each mon, wed, fri. My goal is to do 10 regular pull-ups by June, but now that I think of it never before in my life have I been able to do 10 pull-ups.

Are you using a chair like they do in P90X? Do it. You'll be doing pull-ups in no time.
