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 with Melanie. We started at Bridal Veil Falls and ran up the highway to the Wallsburg turnoff and back. It felt like we were pushing the pace the whole way, and I was tired every mile. Our average to the top was 7:06 pace. On the way back down at mile 15 I thought, "I don't want to feel this tired at mile 15 at St. George." Our average down was 6:46 pace. I'm glad I was able to keep going relatively fast for so many miles on such tired legs. Average for the whole run 6:56 pace. We stopped 6 times to drink probably 2 minutes each and one other pit stop on the side of the road that took a little longer. Figured we had about 17 minutes of stopping.

When you say pit, do you mean poop?

Wow! I now feel lazy for my measly 12-mile run. Nice workout! A very respectable pace as well.
