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.

17 miles with Brent up/down Provo Canyon/South Fork. Avg 7:15 pace. I was going to go 20 and run home past my house to end at the baseball fields three miles away, but cut it short and stopped at home.

I ran pain free for about 13 miles. Then I started having a little pain in the inside of my left leg, down by my ankle. This hurt me a lot Tues/Thurs. I rubbed out a spot clear up on the inside of my leg at the top of my quad right by my but to fix this problem. I was supper tired from not enough sleep and started running sloppy. I kicked myself right where it was already starting to hurt. The spot was still a little swolen and tender from earlier in the week. The kick hurt so bad and it bothered me the whole last 4 miles.

I'm still a little nervous about how my body will hold up for the UV Marathon. I think if I can finish working out all my tight spots so I don't have any injury pains, and sleep good so I feel well rested I can have a very enjoyable and fast race.

I know an amazing trigger point M T in Orem if you want his name and number. He helped release my tight piformis muslce this last winter.

Good luck Julie! :)
