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: |

Ran 6 miles up/down provo canyon with Melody, Amanda & Desiree. My watch battery went out so I had no idea how fast we were going. I was surprised and happy to find out we averaged a 7:26.
This was a big improvememt from the first run I did with them three weeks ago when I felt like I was going to throw-up after 4 miles at 8 min pace. | | Comments(2) |

| 8 miles. This was a disjointed haphazzard run with lots of stopping. Traffic lights, injury stops(not mine), bathroom breaks, etc. Part with Desiree, some with Melody and Sussie, finished off with just Melody. Avg 7:47 pace. | | Comments(2) |

11.35 miles. Yes, I was too tired to round it off to an even 11.5 and especially not 12! Actually considered walking that last .35 to my car. I stopped my watch and took a few steps then decided to just run it.
Met Melody, Amanda and Desiree near the Riverwoods shopping center at 5:15 a.m. We drove to Vivian Park, ran 2 miles up South Fork then came down Provo Canyon 9 miles. They were going 14 and continued down to Will's Pit Stop and back, but I cut out early and went to my car. Avg 7:24 pace. My shoulders hurt from trying this funky new move at Yoga (trying incorrectly) Other than that I just felt tired. When I got into the shower I felt like I had raced.
Took a nap for almost 2 hours while my boys were at school / girl at pre-school. I really needed it too. | | Add Comment |

| 4 miles with Brent on bike @ 7:37 pace. My left quad started to hurt the last mile. I think that long downhill run yesterday was about the max my quads could take. | | Add Comment |

| 6 miles with Mark at 7:26 pace. Happy my qual didn't bother me while running. Wanted to go 10, but thought that might be too much for it. The quad feels sore when I rub it, but I think it will be better next week. | | Comments(1) |

| 10 miles with 6 x 1/2 mile repeats with 1/2 mile recovery in the middle. I haven't done any speed work in 6 months so the first few really felt strange. I ran from my house south on University Ave and back so the first 4 slightly downhill, last 2 slightly uphill. 1/2 mile interval paces, 6:42, 6:36, 6:28, 6:13, 6:46,6:42. My whole run avg 7:39 pace. When I looked at how long it took me I realized I finished this run a whole mile behind myself of a year ago. That's discouraging. | | Comments(1) |

| Ran 12 miles with Melody and Amanda. 2.25 miles up South Fork @ about 8:30 pace and then down the canyon to Vintage (near Riverwoods) @ about 7 min pace. Whole run Avg 7:17 pace. I felt tons better than I did 10 days ago when we did this run so that made me happy. It was nice to feel good doing some 7 min miles even if it was downhill. | | Add Comment |

| 10 miles with Melody. I was nervous about doing this workout, but it turned out great. We ran from Vintage just over three miles up Provo Canyon as a warm up then headed down for our intervals. 5 x 1200 m with 400 m jogging recovery. My interval times were 4:37(6:09 pace), 4:38(6:11 pace), 4:35(6:09 pace), 4:37(6:10 pace), and 4:31(6:02 pace). Then we ran 1 1/2 miles cool down back to our cars. I was happy with my times even if we were running downhill. Of course Melody was way out ahead of me making 5:53 pace look like a jog in the park. | | Comments(1) |

14 miles with Amanda, Desiree and Melanie B. We ran from the Utah Valley Marathon start in Wellsburg down the canyon. I left my car at Vivian Park and stopped there while they kept running. We started out what felt fast for me, around 7 min pace. After 6 miles I thought I wasn't going to be able to keep up, but we slowed down some and I somehow got feeling better. I felt pretty good the last 4 miles. Avg 7:20 pace. 7:08, 6:49, 6:57, 7:08, 7:07, 7:39 (hills), 7:53(hills), 7:16, 7:24, 7:32, 7:33(.65 - accidentally hit the lap button), 7:22, 7:32, 7:29 (.42)
The new Utah Valley course is harder through the miles around Deer Creek (6 through 9) than I thought it would be. I thought it would be flat because you're going around the lake, but the road really goes up and down there.
I think if I ran a 1/2 marathon right now I would be lucky to run a 1:30 and be under 7 min miles. If I ran a marathon I would be lucky to finish without walking the last 6 miles. | | Comments(1) |

| 8 miles in the snow with Melody and Michelle @ 7:31 pace. I guess I didn't miss out on all the winter running with my injury after all. | | Comments(1) |

| 10 miles. Ran to the start of the Memorial Day 10k run. Ran the race unregistered and then ran back home. Towards the end I didn't want to go any faster, but I could have kept running the pace I was doing for much longer. Avg for the 10k was 6:51 pace. Would have placed 3rd overall if I was registered. | | Add Comment |
