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: |

I finally went running with my friends again! Melody, Josse, Desere, and Amanda ran towards my house and I met up with them for a 4 mile run. My leg hurt a little, but it was so nice to be out in the dark at 6 a.m. in 28 degrees again.
My Achilles felt really strange when I got done, like I could feel the tendon moving/sliding inside itsself. I wondered whether I had really over done it, but I iced it and the part of the tendon that felt funny, which was also the part that has hurt me the most, has not really bothered me since. | | Comments(1) |

| Biked for 45 min then tried to run. Made it 1/2 mile before I decided running two days in a row wasn't smart. I probably would have made it farther if I didn't bike first. Biking iritates it just a little. Now the pain is higher up, like I overstretched where the muscle meets the tendon. At least it's not the same pain as usual. | | Add Comment |

Went to Dr. Higbee (Chiropractor) again today. The rest of my body and the problem with my knee seem to be doing much better. Did some PT exercises and sit-ups in my livingroom.
I've decided my goal is to be able to run the Salt Lake City 1/2. Just a goal to finish without injury pain. Really racing it and looking like I'm racing it is probably impossible. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up with my friends who are running the full for the first 6 miles until we split, then hang out at the finish to see them come in. | | Comments(2) |

Ran 4 miles with Melody and Amanda this morning. It felt so good to get out in the cold. My leg felt much better on the run than it did on Monday. Only a little pain in the middle of the run. Then we did a 15 min Ab workout in Melody's basement. It was the hardest Ab workout I've ever done. I felt so good afterwards!
Now it's a few hours later and I have a little pain walking, but not as bad as after my run last Sat or Mon. This is the first day I've actually felt encouraged that I might be really getting better. | | Comments(3) |

| I'm back to feeling discouraged. My Achilles hurt more and more as the day progressed yesterday and this morning I knew running was not an option. I went to the Fitness Center and swam for 30 minutes. Maybe I need to take up Triathalons. | | Comments(3) |

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. | | Comments(4) |
