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 7:30 pace. I felt even less confident heading out the door today than I did on Tuesday. My leg seemed to warm up better and my hamstring didn't feel as bad at the end of my run. I was going slow and my 10 miles felt like 20 though. My legs were unusually tired. The only encouraging thing about this run was a few hours later when I realized my hamstring is actually feeling better than it did before the run instead of worse.

I've been wearing compression shorts when I run (b/c of my hamstring) and it seems to be helping. Glad yours is feeling better.

I have been wearing compression shorts because they enhance my curves.

Burt - Michelin Man style?

Julie - here is hoping for continued progress.

Yes. They make my muffin top fluffier.

I'm glad you felt better today. I still think you're speedy!
