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.

4 miles avg 7:23 pace. I didn't sleep well last night so I'm tired. Over the weekend I said something to my husband about my push-ups/pull-ups etc. My husband told me my arms were looking bigger. That wasn't what I wanted to hear! I told him, "I'm not going for bigger, I just want to be stronger!" He tried to recover by saying I looked more "toned." I do feel stronger though. I graduated from doing women's push-ups to men's push-ups today. I had to cut back on the number though.

I'll soon master one pull-up. Thanks for making me feel good about the push-ups. It's nice to know I'm not the only one without upper body strength.

Why are girls do worried about being buff?

haven't tried a pull up because I know I could not move an inch....but that is how I started out on my push ups...I was like "no way". So yup you will get there sooner than you think. I do feel "hulky" however and did the same thing to my husband a few months ago..."do I look like the incredible hulk?"....of course he ALWAYS answers THOSE questions correctly ; D. hey are you running Painter's? if so see you there. : D

There's only one place I can think of that girls want to be bigger Burt, and it's not their arms.

Oh yes. I know what you're talking about. Calves.
