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.

Aww, He's such a great guy. I'll miss you!

What do you mean you'll miss her? Where is she going?

I'll only be gone for a few days Burt. My mom received a mission call to work at the Polynesian Cultural Center in Hawaii. She's taking me and my siblings on a little trip to New York for her birthday before she goes. Spouses are staying home to take care of the kids.

She said, "What I want for my birthday is for you to all go to New York with me. I'll buy the tickets and pay the housing." I've never given anyone such a fun present. She pays, I go and it's a "present for her!"

Sounds like a fun trip. And that's so sweet that Melody is going to miss you. You gals must be BFF's.

Your mom in Mormon? I didn't know that!
