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.

8 miles at BYU indoor track with 3 x 1 mile repeats 5:57, 6:01, 6:04.  I didn't feel as well today as I did doing intervals the last few weeks.  This was a little discouraging.

10 miles after the kids went to school avg 6:44 pace.  I ran south on Univ Ave and had a 6:40 avg when I turned around.  My goal was to keep my pace under 7:00 coming back since it was slightly uphill.  It was hard, but I managed to do it.

16 miles avg 6:49 pace.  I ran 6 miles out and back along Univ Ave from my house alone without stopping at a 6:51 average.  Then my husband came with me on his bike for 10 more along Univ Ave and back with one stop to stretch/drink and a few short traffic light stops.  I wanted a flat run without a lot of stopping.  I was hoping to keep all my miles under 7 min pace and I did, but I was sure tired the last two running up towards the canyon.  My husband did most of the talking.  Overall I was happy with the run because I've never done 16 miles that fast on an out and back route before.
