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 7 Miles with Melody, Desiree, and Amanda. I actually trailed behind them more than I ran with them. I stopped to stretch and wait for them to come back my way at one point. My leg felt fine while I was running, but hurts now. Avg 7:43

Maybe I just need to give it more time. I know that sounds crazy since I gave it 8 weeks, but I started running as soon as I could walk around pain free and maybe that was to soon.

My knee used to always hurt after I ran when I was injured in high school. :(

You did fantastic on the workout today. I am sorry your leg is still injured :( Yoga was fun today, wasn't it?

I made another appointment with the PT. This strange pinched nerve pain behind my knee is really bothersome along wtih the Achilles. I think they are related. I can walk around fine, but bending, squating, getting up from chair, and even rolling over in bed hurt.

So Amber I'm not registered for anything but am holding out hope for Utah Valley in June.

I loved the yoga this morning Melody. I'll definately keep going.
