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 south to Orem Center Street, up Univ Ave and into Provo Canyon then back home the same way. Avg pace 6:48, breathing hard but my body felt great, way better than Tuesday's run.

Yes, Burt's right, I live in Zion.

I'm running the Utah Valley Marathon in June. I don't know if I'll do anything before that. I really want to break 3 hours.

I take longer and longer recovering from hard workouts the older I get (38 next month, Ahh!) I'm taking the training/mileage increase slow.
