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.  This was a disjointed haphazzard run with lots of stopping.  Traffic lights, injury stops(not mine), bathroom breaks, etc.  Part with Desiree, some with Melody and Sussie, finished off with just Melody.  Avg 7:47 pace.

Thanks. I feel better than I've felt in a long time, if you don't consider the lack of conditioning. Congratulations on expecting a BOY! I think that will be fun for your son. And great race last week. I couldn't even run across the house at 20 weeks let alone atempt a 1/2 marathon.
