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.

Ran 14 miles up/down Provo Canyon.  I slept in and went around 7:45 a.m.  I didn't really feel like running, which is unusual for me.  Once I got out there I enjoyed it though.  There were patches of ice on the trial which were frustrating though.  I stopped / paused my watch, four short times to drink, one long time to stretch and two medium length times to visit with people on the trail that I hadn't seen in a long time.  So I took a lot of breaks and the average isn't as good as it sounds.  Avg 7:21 pace

Woah! That is a solid run! So when is the next half or full marathon you are planning on?

I think I'll do the SLC Marathon in April. I definately want to do Utah Valley Marathon in June. I can sleep in my own bed for that one. Perhaps a 1/2 before then, but not much else.

How about you? Any plans to run a marathon that will qualify you for the olympics? I want to do the National Marathon in Washington DC in March one of these years. You might want to look into that one. It's on a Saturday and the course is flat.
