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 with Rebecca, Melody and Emily.  We ran up/down Provo Canyon.  7:17 pace to top, 6:35 pace down, avg 6:56 pace.  My legs felt a little tired, like I need to sleep more.  I got up earlier this week.

You've had a pretty regular crowd Thursday mornings on the trail. Your average pace on this run is as fast or faster than our group of guys on most days. We ought to meet up one of these mornings so you ladies can have the satisfaction of taking it to the macho guys.

How are you feeling heading into STG?

Scott - I ran 2:58:19 last year and I think I'm in better shape this time around. I have 2:54:45 stuck in my head, 6:40 pace. On a good day think I can do it.

I'm personally calling forth a nice cool race this year. Another 2007 day. You broke 3 hours in the Provo City marathon--I'd say you could easily beat that time by a good 6-10 minutes. Maybe even more... :-)
