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.

You should have turned the heater on in your shoes.

julie -- i learned this trick from predog (aka joe): wear plastic bags over your socks and your feet will stay warm and dry -- even stepping through giant puddles or running through the snow. i've been doing it all winter and it works great. (i use those plastic sandwich bags without the ziploc contraption to ensure my feet still fit my shoes right).

A wool based sock will also do the trick. I ran in those all winter.

I actually thought of plastic bags just after mile 5 when I turned around. In the winter I wrapped my feet in Glad Cling Wrap. I thought, "I should have wrapped my feet in plastic," then I thought, "It's May! I shouldn't have to wrap my feet in plastic to keep them warm!"

and you don't slip?

Plastic first, then socks, then shoes.

I think you would do sock then plastic (if your doing the bags) then shoes. That is a great idea!

I'll put a plug in for my Pearl Izumi Gortex shoes. They repel water really well and I never have wet feet issues when I wear them. They are pretty clunky compared to my Kinvaras so I only pull them out on really wet slushy days.
