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.

16 miles avg 6:49 pace (net elevation drop).  The plan was to start at Vivian Park, run 4 miles up South Fork then down the canyon ending at the Riverwoods parking lot where our cars were for a total of 16.  Started at Vivian Park with Melanie, Melody, Josse and McKenzie, however we only got 1 mile up South Fork before the road was to slick.  We started down the canyon and ran on the highway between Vivian and Bridal Veil.  Melanie tried to run a mile up/back on the little road by Bridal Veil, but only made it up .3 on that one.  We didn't make a concious decision as to when we started our "Marathon Pace" miles, but we gradually got going faster and pushed it until 12 miles.  Then we took it easier the last 4.  Splits, 8:09 (up South Fork), 6:29 (down South Fork), 6:59, 6:26 (Highway), 7:14 (Bridal Veil road), 6:35 (this was where we realized we ought to really kick it into "marathon pace"), 6:26, 6:25, 6:17, 6:21, 6:27, 6:30 (end on Univ Ave at light after golf course so this one had a short hill), 6:58 (starting cool down), 7:21, 7:18, 7:23 (last 3 north on Univ Ave to cars).
