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.

9 miles at the track.  I decided to drown my computer frustrations in laps on the track.  Met Melody, Emily, Rebecca and Josse at the BYU track.  8 x 800 meter with 1 1/2 lap recovery.  Times: 2:56, 2:55, 2:56, 2:55, 2:53, 2:55, 2:55, 2:55.  I was worried I would slow down on number 5 and ended up going faster, number 7 and 8 hurt a lot more than the others, but I was happy to keep the same pace.
