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.

10 miles avg 6:56 pace. I wanted to go a little faster and I did. I ran down to Orem Center Street, around Riverwoods and North on University Ave into Provo Canyon and back home the same way. I didn't stop much, or for long and felt good for about 7 1/2. My legs started feeling tired, no big deal, but about 1/2 way up the Center Street hill (end of mile 9) I felt like I was going to throw-up. I stopped at the top and just stood there for about 30 seconds before running the last mile home. It's amazing that running only 10 seconds faster than usual can make you so much more tired.
