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.

Nothing today.  Saturday night my left butt all of the sudden felt like I pulled a muscle.  I could hardly walk around the house.  I was really careful yesterday and it's feeling a lot better, but decided one more day off would be best.

10 miles @ BYU track with a big group.  I planned to meet Melody and Melanie, but ran into Josse there too.  Emily came late.  Rachelle and Jen were also there.  We ran 15 x 1 lap fast & 1 lap slow.  I couldn't believe how fast everyone was.  Melanie and I were bringing up the rear.  I was regretting the "In 'N Out Burger" and cookie dough I ate the night before.

Spin class and weights with Melanie.  I decided not to make myself as sore as the week before.  Felt good, not too much but still felt like I did something.  Sat in the hot tub afterwards.

10 miles on the treadmill @ Legacy Center.  Melanie and I thought we might go outside, but @ 6:00 a.m. it was only 23 degrees and it was starting to rain, freezing rain.  The air quality was still really bad too.  Ran 4 miles @ 7:13 pace, 3 miles @ 6:15 pace, and 3 miles @ 6:58 pace.  I need a nap today.

4 miles.  I stopped for 5 min after each mile to do push-ups, pull-ups, burpees, core exercises etc,  The mile felt like the rest between the the other stuff.  I'm not as strong as I should be.
