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.
4 miles avg 7:17 pace. My quads felt fine on our run Saturday and for several hours afterwards. Then I went out in the yard to weed the flower beds and strained one a little bit. I hope it gets better quickly.
10 miles with Melanie on Jordan River Parkway Trail. We did 12 x 1 min fast, 2 min slower. Pace for times: 5:26, 7:13, 5:34, 7:19, 5:41, 7:16, 5:46, 7:25, 5:34, 7:30, 5:35, 7:21, 5:44, 7:42, 5:43, 6:54, 5:55, 7:38, 5:43, 7:26, 5:45, 7:51, 5:50, cool down. Average pace for whole run 6:52 pace.
20 miles up/down Provo Canyon/South Fork with Melanie, avg 7:15 pace. We both agreed the 3 miles into South Fork seemed harder than we remembered, so uphill for so long. We were glad to turn around. I wanted to get in one more long run before Utah Valley and was glad to get it in 2 weeks and 2 days before the race instead of just 2 weeks.
10 miles. Don't know my pace because I forgot to charge my watch. I ran up Provo Canyon and met Marie. We ran down together. I haven't run with her in a log time so it was nice to visit.
