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.

4 miles alone avg 7:11 pace.  Then 3 miles with my sister visiting from Oregon avg 9:30 pace.  When we got about 1/2 mile away from home my sister was breathing so hard  she said her lungs were burning.  I said, "Maybe we should slow down," but as I was saying this I thought, "I don't think it's possible to run much slower.  If we slow down, we'll be walking."  We had a good laugh later when she told our other sister how tired she was and how I didn't seem to be breathing at all.  I couldn't help but tell her what I was thinking when I said, "Maybe we should slow down."  I was laughing so hard I could hardly get the words out.  She being a great sport, had a good laugh at it too.  

This sister Kellly Nelson, is so suportive of my running and always says how proud she is when I have a good race.  I'm way proud of her too.  She just got a NOVEL PUBLISHED!   "The Keeper's Calling" and you can buy it at Deserret Book, on Amazon.com, or order it at any Barns & Noble. It's a way good story and appeals to people of all ages.  It's book 1 of 3 and the other two are coming out later this year.  Book 1 is really good and books 2 and 3 are so good you can't set them down.
