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.

I was a little more motivated to cross train today after I got on the scale and realized I've gained about 3 lbs. Swam for 45 min, walked for 10 min and biked for 20 min. The PT said I should be able to walk pain free before I started running. I was encouraged I could walk for 10 minutes without pain, only a little sensation towards the end like it wasn't quite right. I think if I kept going another 10 It might have hurt. But a few weeks ago I cold only walk about 2 min before I was in a lot of pain.

Julie I'm glad you are getting better. I'm still in no running shape just walking.
