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.

16 mile run with Melanie B and Julie C.  We started at Vivian Park, 3 miles warm-up going up South Fork, then 12 miles down the canyon on the running trail @ 6:39 average, one mile cool down.  I think our 12 miles was supposed to be "marathon pace," but was actually a little faster.  I felt good, but wouldn't have kept that pace up for 14 more miles.
