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.

20 miles. It's amazing what sleep will do. I headed out at 6:30 a.m. and ran up Provo Canyon to Vivian Park then down the canyon and to the Lakeside soccer fields by Utah Lake. The first 5 miles were the hardest, most uphill and strong head wind. Then the wind died down and it wasn't so steep. Coming down and heading to the lake was great. Avg 7:09 pace. This run had an overall elevation drop. I got really cold watching my son's soccer game though because I was sweaty.

Holy moly Marathon Mom! Was 7:09 the average pace for the entire 20 miles or just the downhill part?

Hope you weren't sitting by anybody at the soccer game. From what your kids say, you can be realy stinky after a run.

7:09 was really the average. I want to break 3 hrs, (6:52 pace), so I'm trying to get down around there, at least on the downhill part. I couldn't have kept it up for another 6 miles though, so I've got some work to do over the next several weeks.

I too hope I didn't stink out the soccer game too much. But really I don't think people noticed the stink as much as how bad I looked with sweaty wet hat hair and no make-up.

Oh, I don't think you'd look bad. Were you wearing make-up when we ran? Or was that just a sun burn?
