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.

10 miles avg 7:01 pace on my hilly run.  My husband came with me on his bike.  The kids were gone having a sleepover at grandma's house so we slept in and worked out most of the morning.  It was very relaxing.

10 miles avg 7:06 pace and I felt horrible.  About 2 miles in I felt weak and shakey.  I tried to do some speed work and ran about 1 1/2 miles at a little faster pace, then 1/2 mile slower then tried to go fast again and I just couldn't do it.  I stopped and stood there 1/2 mile later then tried again and stopped again.  I decided to just do an easy run, but I never felt good.  It was so strange. 

I slept fine.  I'm either fighting off sickness or it's because of the food I ate the last few days.  The Relief Society gave us left over food from a funeral Tues because my brother/sister-in-law had the ambulance at their home next door and I watched their kids (including twin babies) in the afternoon while they went to the hospital with their daughter.  Everyone was sick but the babies so I was around a lot of germs.  Wed I ate at the scout banquet.  As I was feeling so yucky all I could think about was all the margarine that I'm sure was on the white french bread I ate.  I just don't feel as good when I eat that kind of stuff, and I had it two days in a row.  Hoping to feel better Saturday for a long run.

18 miles with Melody and Rebecca.  We ran our hilly route out past Timpview High School, the MTC, down 900 East, etc.  Average 7:14 pace.  I felt a lot better than Thursday, but still not 100%.  My legs were tired and ached the last 4 miles but my stomach felt a lot better.
