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.

8 miles up/down Provo Canyon, avg 7:09 pace.  Quads felt tons better.  I only had one minor pain about 4 miles into the run.  I stopped to rub it out and decided to go 8 instead of 10.  It felt fine on the way down.

Speaking of rubbing it out, I'm going to rub out allie. That's gangster talk.

I do a couple of 7:30's and then hit the 7's. I don't know why I start out so fast, maybe that's why I never feel very good until 4 or 5 miles in.
