2012 St. George Marathon 2:54:39 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. Favorite Blogs: |

| 12 miles up/down Provo Canyon, 1 mile warm up then 2 mile repeats with 1/2 to 3/4 mile jogging recovery and 1 mile cool down. First two mile interval: 6:37 & 6:39, Second two mile interval: 6:41 & 6:57 (spaced off and didn't realize how slow I was going, also tired of the uphill), Third two mile interval: 6:08 & 6:26, Fourth two mile interval: 6:17 & 6:21. Learned I don't know how to pace myself very well on these because the second mile was always slower than the first. | | Add Comment |

| Ran 2 miles to Melody's house then 8 with her. Went up in the hills near Timpview and the temple. Got a little lost in the neighborhoods and ran more hills than we wanted too. Wasn't as easy as we planned it to be. I was tired enough to take a ride home from her house afterwards. | | Comments(2) |

I was going to go easy, but now I'm not doing anything. My little girl is too sick to go to preschool, so I guess I shouldn't take her out in the cold for a stroller run. We have a doctor appointment this morning.
I feel like I'm getting sick too! Sore throat and sinus trouble. I just hope it doesn't really turn into something because I'm runnng the Mesquite 1/2 marathon on Saturday and my 6 year old son is really excited to watch my race. | | Comments(3) |

I ran the Mesquite 1/2 marathon on Saturday, finishing 3rd behind Amber G and some lady from Colorado who totally smoked us both with a 1:19. I had a hard time getting going the first couple of miles because my ankles hurt really bad from the cold. Then I just pounded out the miles without really thinking much. I ran in 3rd place most of the way and could see Amber most of the time.
At about mile 5 I thought, "I run this hard in workouts sometimes, maybe I should speed up since this is a race," however I put it off too long and around mile 10 realized there was no way I was going to catch 2nd place. My thoughts were, "what's the point of pouring it on and exhausting myself for nothing." I know this is not the right attitude. I think my biggest mistake was not having a race plan. I was a little disappointed in myself because I realized afterward that I could have done better and didn't. Even if it wouldn't have made a difference in my place or prize I should have put forth my best effort.
I felt good and had a great workout though. It was fun to see the women finish the Marathon and my kids had a blast on the bounce house.

I ran the Thanksgiving Day Earn your Turkey 4 mile run. My splits were fairly consistant: 6:14, 6:13, 6:30, 6:14. My third mile is slower than the others every year. I think this stretch has a very slight uphill grade. I was pleased my time was 24 sec faster than last year, although I was hoping for more like 40 seconds faster. I got my turkey and my boys love turkey.
My kids also ran their races and seemed to have a good time. My 3 year old got a ribbon for 5th place. As she sat in the car holding it on the way to Grandma's house she asked "Did I win?" and the conversation continuted like this, "You got 5th place, so you were one of the winners" "So did I win?" "Well they have 5 winners and you got a ribbon for being the 5th winner," "So did I win?" "Yes Elsa, you won," "Oh." | | Comments(2) |

| Ran 4 miles with my 8 year old son on his rollerblades. We took along a rubber stretchy thing I use for my exercises. I held onto one end and he held onto the other end so I could pull him a little. It worked out well although he was tired at the end. Avg 8:30 | | Add Comment |

| Ran 14 miles up/down Provo Canyon. I slept in and went around 7:45 a.m. I didn't really feel like running, which is unusual for me. Once I got out there I enjoyed it though. There were patches of ice on the trial which were frustrating though. I stopped / paused my watch, four short times to drink, one long time to stretch and two medium length times to visit with people on the trail that I hadn't seen in a long time. So I took a lot of breaks and the average isn't as good as it sounds. Avg 7:21 pace | | Comments(2) |
