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.

I decided I need to "baby" my quad for a couple of days to get it better. I tried to not use it at all, using my arms to push myself up and to lower myself down when I sit etc. My goal was to not cause it any pain all day, but there were a few times I slipped. It still hurts to push on the one spot.

4 miles avg 7:07 pace. Felt like I haven't been running much. Not a well rested feeling, more like I'm loosing conditioning feeling.

11 miles avg 7:15 pace. More like 10 miles @ 7:05 and one slower cool down. Ran backwards ong the American Fork 1/2 Marathon course until I met Melanie and Kim, turned around and ran the last 5 miles in with them. Then we ran a 1 mile cool down. I felt good. When I got back I told my husband, "I feel like myself again." It's been about 2 weeks since I felt good.
