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.

8 miles avg 7:05 pace. Still pain in my left ankle. I got a massage later in the morning so hopefully that will help. The rest of my body sure feels good.

burt - what does "touche" mean?

It's a cross between a turtle and a ... nevermind.

I don't know Burt, I wouldn't mind having some the speed Allie has.

Allie - I had Achilles pain and also what felt like a shin splint way down low near my ankle. I got the Achilles feeling better,(lots of calf and hamstring rubbing/digging) but the shin think still hurt a lot. I found a tight spot on the inside of my quad right up near my butt and after I really dug into that the shin felt a lot better. You could have something higher up on your leg causing your problem. Really dig into your leg with your fingers and rub sideways instead of along the muscle to see if that helps.

That's the definition of "touche"
