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.

How embarrassing. Any world class runner would have lapped you.

Yes, it was dark and by the time we turned down the last straight away I could hardly see Melody and when she took her white shirt off and was wearing a black one I couldn't see her at all.

Burt - you haven't posted a run for a week now. Are you injured, busy, or lazy?

From Burt on Tue, Feb 07, 2012 at 11:52:08 from 174.254.19.134

Busy. But I'll run tonight. Promise.

what does a 4:30 1200 translate to? I so wish I knew I had today off (I got put on call at midnight) then I could have joined you. But honestly your workouts scare me. Way to go!! :D.

1200 @ 4:30 is 6 min mile. That's the same pace I do my miles is. It seems like I should have done the 1200's faster, but oh well. I didn't have it in me and it was too dark to see my lap splits as i was doing them.
