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 in a snow storm, avg 7:22 pace. Last night when my husband turned on the news and asked me if I wanted to see the weather I believe I said, "No, I saw it this morning. I know what they're going to say. It's the same all week, low 27, high 40. There's no storms coming." Were they wrong or what?! The 1 1/2 hour snow storm started about 3 miles into my run and there was about an inch on the ground by the time I finished. I called my husband on my cell phone at about mile 7 as I thought he would think it was funny I was out running in a blizzard given my comments the night before.

Did he think it was funny or did he scorn you and say, "See! I told you so! You're so stupid!"?

Because that would be mean.

He laughed along with me and said something like, "You're dedicated." I reminded him it wasn't snowing when I left. To show I'm not stupidly dedicated, but I probably would have left to run even if it was snowing before I walked out the door.

Oh, he's so sweet.

You've been cracking me up this week with your comments and posts. First of all let me clarify - you are dedicated and I'll bet 10 bucks you still would have gone out if it was snowing when you left :) Nice run.

Oh, you already stated that in one of your comments. Joke's on me then.

Silly Melody.
