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.

5.5 miles with Marie and Rebecca avg 7:40 pace. Something's wrong with my blog. All my entries after this date aren't posting. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm pushing "Publish & to Calandar."

12 miles up/down Provo Canyon. Did 6 x 1 mile with 1/2 mile recovery.  First three up the canyon, 6:24 (stopped to visit with Jose at the start of this one), 6:38, 6:44 (felt like I might throw-up).  The next three were down the canyon, 6:05, 6:10, 6:10.  I felt a lot better on the last three.  My average for the whole run was 6:57 pace, but I stopped my watch several times to drink, pee, stand there so I wouldn't pass out etc.  I didn't feel like doing speed work, but I'm glad I did.  I hadn't done any since I ran with Melody last summer.  I also tested my pepper spray and it shot out surprisingly far, maybe 6 feet.

18 miles up/down Provo Canyon avg 7:08 pace.

I ran 4 miles with Marie, Amanda and Rebecca, then Amanda and Rebecca turned around.  Marie and I kept going up another mile and back home for 6 more.  I met my husband at home and he went back up/down the canyon with me for another 8 miles.
