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.

3 miles on my treadmill. I set my alarm to get up and meet Marie and Rebecca, but when I went off I was tired and it was in the 20's outside with snow on the ground.

8 miles avg 7:27. Ran 4 miles with Rebecca and 4 more by myself. It was nice to finally do a normal run and feel ok again. It seems like it's been two weeks since I really ran. Saturday's trail run had a lot of hills and stops, Monday's treadmill run was pitiful. Tuesday my day was so packed I didn't run at all. 5:45 a.m. was my only time and I thought I still needed sleep more. Wednesday was like Tuesday. Today's the same, but I feel good enough now to get up at 5:45 a.m. again. I like getting up early.

17.5 with Melanie, Kim and Jane in 32 degrees and slushy snow.  Avg 7:16 pace.  With 3 miles to go we headed under the road on a running path into 6 or 8 inches of water.  I took two steps into it before I realized what was going on, two more steps to stop and turn around, four steps to get out, etc.  My feet and legs were soaked to my knees.  I felt tight the last three miles and was really tired the last mile.
