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.

16 miles with Melanie from her house in Lehi. Avg 6:58 pace. About a mile out we were already too warm and realized it probably wasn't going to rain. We stopped where the running trail starts off State Street in Lehi to take stuff off. I set down one of my shirts (plain black nice running fabric, but only $8 @ Wal-Mart), Melanie set down her gloves (new $12 warm gloves from Costco, not the usual $1 gloves we wear) and we both set down our ball caps. We ran an out and back on the trail heading towards AF Canyon. On our way back Melanie said, "I hope no one took my gloves." I said, "Hopefully the pile of clothes is big enough that it's obvious we're coming back for them. Or someone will think, 'I just hit the jack-pot!'" Unbelievably when we got back to our clothes HER GLOVES WERE GONE! I couldn't believe it. Someone took her gloves and left the other stuff. I guess my shirt didn't fit them, and our hats weren't good enough.

I had someone take some running pants that I hid in the weeds but they didn't take my nice running jacket. Weird people

in pouring ran in a 20 miler in SF McKenzie, Aubrey and I all lost stuff stuffed by a wire fence. GONE. AND once I left my hand held weights just off to the side of the trail. Gone three miles later. I had kim hide her stuff that she thought she could just lay on a rock. I had her put them under a rock cause you JUST never know. Still there!! PHEW!!!!
