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 up Provo Canyon with Marie and Amanda.  It felt good to go 10 miles again and to go up the canyon.

4 miles on treadmill.  The alarm went off at 5:40 a.m. because I was going to go early with my friends, but I was way too tired.  I turned it off and stayed in bed until 8:00 a.m.  Even then I could hardly get up.  It sure helped though since I've been fighting a head cold.

6 miles avg 7:08 pace.  I wanted to go 10 again, that was before I left the house, but the 20 degree temperature sucked all the motivation out of me around mile 1 and I settled for 6.

9 miles with Marie and Amanda, and part with Rebecca.  9 miles in the slush!  My clothes were so wet they weighed over 5 lbs. when I got home.  Yes, I weighed them!

6 miles with Marie.  Don't know the pace because my battery went out.  I was tired though.

8 miles with Rebecca, Marie and Amanda.  8 miles in 4 inches of fresh snow, not as bad as Saturday though.

6 miles with Marie, Rebecca and two of it with Melody.  We ran into Melody on the street and finished up her run with her.  It was fun to see Melody again.  This was sort of a haphazard run.  I initially wanted to go 10, but didn't feel like doing more after other people were done.  I'm on a break from feeling like I "need" to do anything for about four more days, until the new year.

4 miles on my treadmill.  1 mile warm-up, 1 mile @ 6:18, 1/2 mile slow, 1 mile @ 6:18, 1/2 mile slow.  Felt good to move the legs faster, although on a treadmill it wasn't really hard.

11 cold and snowy miles with Marie and Danielle.  Avg 7:38.  The snow and ice prevented us from going faster.  I pulled out the big ski gloves for this one and my hands were toasty warm.  Great way to end the year.
