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.

Ran 6 miles up/down provo canyon with Melody, Amanda & Desiree.  My watch battery went out so I had no idea how fast we were going.  I was surprised and happy to find out we averaged a 7:26. 

This was a big improvememt from the first run I did with them three weeks ago when I felt like I was going to throw-up after 4 miles at 8 min pace.

Good Job! I am not signing up for Byrce it was tons of fun. I have a family reunion that I don't think I can get out of. It might be good as I think I would feel pressure to do better or the same as last year.

Last year at Bryce I had a 1:24 which was only seconds away from the winning time the year before and I took 7th! Maybe this year there won't be as much competition. Of course I'm not as much competition right now either. I signed up for Bryce and Top of Utah.

Do you want to run Sat? I don't know what the other girls want to do, but I'll probably go 10. I can let you know, or we can make plans, etc.
