2012 St. George Marathon 2:54:39 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. Favorite Blogs: |

| Started the New Year by doing nothing. I'm going to take two days off to try to get over my cold. I think I'll get better faster if I rest a little. | | Comments(1) |

| 10 miles outside! We were going to treadmill it, but when it was 35 degrees and the smog was gone we went out. Smith's run avg 6:49 pace. So nice to feel the road under our feet. I felt so good when we were done. | | Add Comment |

14 miles. We lucked out and it was 15 degrees instead of the single digets forecasted, and only 1 new inch of snow instead of the possible 2 - 5 inches. Melanie, Melody and I ran 10.5 outside, avg 7:16 pace, then all three of us hit tredmills for the last bit. I ran 3 miles @ 6:15 pace on mine. | | Add Comment |

| 10 miles on treadmill at Legacy Center with Melanie. Only 8 degrees outside and the smog is back. 2 mile warm-up, 7 x 1 mile @ 6:15 pace with 1:20 rest between. I was supposed to have a 1 min rest, but it always ended up being a little longer, 1 mile cool-down. | | Comments(1) |

| Met Melanie at the Legacy Center for a spin class but the class was ful. We decided to lift weights first and Melanie got us going on a bunch of Body Rock stuff, basically doing one thing for a min, 10 sec rest, do another thing, etc. We must have done that for over 30 minutes then we lifted a few other weights. I was exhausted. Melanie is a lot stronger than me. Then I biked for about 20 minutes while she ran 3 miles. I was so sore the next day. | | Add Comment |

Ran 10 miles, 7 of it with Melody. I was miserable. average 7:25 or so, I'm not sure.
The night before I went with the church youth group while the youth sledded. The hill was really steep and bumpy and I didn't want to get hurt so I stood there and froze as I visited with people. All I could think about was the pioneers, since I just saw "17 Miracles" last week. I was miserable with double layers of my warmest running clothes, snow pants, coat, big hat, gloves, etc. The pioneers didn't have near as nice of clothes.
It was just way to hard to freeze for hours in the evening and then get up and go out in the cold again. It was only 8 or 10 degrees outside and I had a bad attitude about it. | | Add Comment |

14 miles with Kim and Melody. It was 6 degrees! I wouldn't have gone if I wasn't meeting people. I used to say "I don't do single digits," but this year I've done that several times. I think this was my coldest run, but it didn't seem as hard as Thursdays. I had to remind myself I won't go back out in it again until at least Thursday since I'm planning to go to the BYU indoor track on Tues.
After 11 miles Melody wanted to tempo and I said I didn't think I could make myself go any faster. I wasn't breathing really hard, but my body felt like it could hardly go. We started to pick it up and I felt like I was running in Jello. Managed to pull out a few faster miles, but only by about 15 sec. Average pace for the run 7:05. | | Comments(2) |

| Nothing today. Saturday night my left butt all of the sudden felt like I pulled a muscle. I could hardly walk around the house. I was really careful yesterday and it's feeling a lot better, but decided one more day off would be best. | | Comments(5) |

| 10 miles @ BYU track with a big group. I planned to meet Melody and Melanie, but ran into Josse there too. Emily came late. Rachelle and Jen were also there. We ran 15 x 1 lap fast & 1 lap slow. I couldn't believe how fast everyone was. Melanie and I were bringing up the rear. I was regretting the "In 'N Out Burger" and cookie dough I ate the night before. | | Add Comment |

| Spin class and weights with Melanie. I decided not to make myself as sore as the week before. Felt good, not too much but still felt like I did something. Sat in the hot tub afterwards. | | Add Comment |

| 10 miles on the treadmill @ Legacy Center. Melanie and I thought we might go outside, but @ 6:00 a.m. it was only 23 degrees and it was starting to rain, freezing rain. The air quality was still really bad too. Ran 4 miles @ 7:13 pace, 3 miles @ 6:15 pace, and 3 miles @ 6:58 pace. I need a nap today. | | Add Comment |

| 4 miles. I stopped for 5 min after each mile to do push-ups, pull-ups, burpees, core exercises etc, The mile felt like the rest between the the other stuff. I'm not as strong as I should be. | | Add Comment |

| 10 miles on treadmill at Legacy Center with Melanie. 2 mile warm-up @ 7:30 pace, 3.5 miles @ 6:15 pace, .5 mile @ 8 pace, 2 miles @ 6:15 pace, 2 min standing rest, 1.5 miles @ 6:15 pace and .5 mile cool-down @ 8 pace. This was supposed to be 2 x 3.5 miles fast, but I really wanted a little breather in the middle of the second one. | | Comments(1) |
