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 6:42 pace with Melanie B from her house in Lehi. We did an out and back course that was uphill on the way out @ 7:00 pace and downhill on the way back @ 6:24 pace. I think that's my fastest out & back 10 mile run ever.

At dinner I said to my husband, "I can't believe how good I felt after my run this morning. It was like I was on drugs, not that I've ever taken drugs," to which my husband turned to my 8 year old son and said, "Mom's finally admitting she's addicted to running."

10 miles up/down Provo Canyon avg 6:56 pace. I thought I was going "easier" today and my pace at the end surprised me. I guess it was easier than Tuesday, but when I go that fast on Tuesday my Thursday is usually slower. Time to really slow down and cut back for Utah Valley though. Only 9 days away!

12 miles with Melanie. Avg 7:15 pace. We ran 4 miles warm-up then Melanie did a 5k race. I started a few minutes ahead of the race, ran a few fast miles, and ran Melanie in the last 3/4 mile of her 5k. Then we ran 5 miles cool-down. We tried sitting in the Jordan River by the camp ground, but need to find a better spot. Where we sat was more like a swamp.
