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 total with 3 x 1 mile repeats.  Met Melody & Emily B at BYU.  We warmed up outside but the outdoor track had ice on it so we went to the indoor track.  I was very hot in my shirt that keeps me warm in 32 degrees.  My splits were 6:01, 6:02, 6:04.  I was happy with my times, but being 12 seconds behind Melody on the track looks really far and 20 seconds behind Emily B was, well about a whole straight away.  I could barely see her with all the other people on the track.  It felt good to do some speed work again though and I'm excited to do it again.

Nice job, Julie. Very consistent splits. I'm really glad you joined us. I hope our marathon times get a lot faster!
