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 with Melanie up/down Provo Canyon.  My quads were sore from running down AF Canyon on Saturday.  My legs seriously felt like I raced but at the time I didn't think I was pushing it that hard.

14 miles down AF Canyon with Melanie and Kim.  I told my husband that run kicked my butt last week and made my quads way too sore so I needed to do it again.  We warmed up a mile at the top then started down.  No tempo, lots of stopping for drinks, etc.  I got very tired at about mile 12 and the last 2 were hard.  But the next day my quads were just tired instead of sore so that was encouraging.  My hamstring hurt a little the first several miles, but after stretching my butt several times it felt fine.  It did bother me more later in the day though.  I started to feel discouraged about that but reminded myself that compared to last weekend I ran 1 mile farther, a little faster and it hurt less.
