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.

4 miles at 8 min pace with Melody and Desiree. I'm still barely recovering from my double achilles injury and some strange pinched nerve behind my left knee. I was so glad to finally be out running, almost pain free, but this was an "easy" run for my friends and hard for me. I felt like I might throw-up after only 4 miles and we weren't even going fast!

4 miles with my girl in the running stroller.  My watch battery went out so I don't know my pace.  It's probably a good thing.  Still a little pain in the right ankle, but doesn't seem to get worse when I run.

4 miles up/down Provo Canyon.  I stopped each mile to stretch and catch my breath so it seemed a little like intervals.  Went too soon after lunch and felt sick to my stomach when I turned around.  Avg 7:18 pace.  With all the stopping and how bad I felt it's not as good as it sounds.

Yoga Class & 4 mile run

I love my Mon & Wed 6:30 a.m. yoga class in Orem.  If anyone is interested it is only $5 a class!  I can get you a 3 session free pass to try it out and see if you're interested.

8 miles.  I went about as fast as I could keep up for 8 miles and averaged 7:19 pace.  I'm glad I'm improving and my conditioning is coming back relatively fast, but this 7:19 felt like what a 6:45 used to feel like.  My arms hurt the most.  They were sore and tired from Yoga the day before.
