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.

Well Burt, I can't make any old run laugh-out-loud interesting on my blog like you. I guess we all have our tallents.

Spelling "talents" is not one of yours, I see.

Hee hee. Ok, that was mean. So to make it up, I'll tell you a story about something that happened to me at work on the 4th of July. Actually it was at 2:30am July 5th.

So I'm outside of my work truck next to one of our irrigation delivery boxes. This guy comes walking down the sidewalk looking at me. I could tell he wanted to say something to me. I thought maybe he was one of our customers. Sometimes they come out to make sure their water gets started. But since I was standing there next to the running water I couldn't quite hear what he was saying. However, I did hear the word 'homosexual.'

I was like "What??!!" He says, "I am not a homosexual! You followed me from down the street, and now you're here. I am not a homosexual!" I was like, "Boy, you better keep on walking!" He continued his crazy rant, and I pointed him on his way.

Then from the other sidewalk his "friend" approached me. This guy was a total hobo. No shirt. Full beard. Dirty looking. I said, "Is that your friend?" He put his finger to his lip and shushed me! I'm like, "Oh no. You need to go with him. Keep on moving." Both of these guys were total nut jobs. I don't know what they were up to, but with a 2X4 in my hand I was ready for them.

Craaaazzzzy.....!
