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.

Oh my gosh. Sorry Julie. I don't know if you get these silly injuries more than anyone else or if you just blog about them more than anyone else.

On the flip side, my son skipped out on school today. So, that's good.

That is terrible! Holy smokes julie. Heal up fast! Text me- my sim card spontaneously deleted half of my contacts.

Was it the female half? Just want to know if I'm still in.

Julie - Here's a race report from Kori Scott who fell a few days before her race: http://kori.fastrunningblog.com/blog-The-Woodlands-Marathon/03-02-2013.html

I turned 40 and everything is falling apart on me.

What does female half mean? Maybe my brain is falling apart on me too.

From Burt on Wed, Mar 06, 2013 at 20:14:21 from 72.223.80.89

Haha! I'm talking about the half of the contacts that Melody lost from her phone.

From julieesplin on Wed, Mar 06, 2013 at 20:16:13 from 75.169.178.113

I should have figured that out. Thanks.

But if you ever do a "female half" marathon, try to sneak me in.

You're much to manly Burt. Especially with the facial hair you're sporting now days.

But at the rate I'm gaining weight I should be a C cup soon.
