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 7:16 pace.  I ran into Marie, Melody, Rebecca, Desiree, and Josse as I was starting and they were finishing.  I was just thinking yesterday how much I miss running with my friends.  I'm going to get up early to run with them later in the week.

Met Marie, Rebecca, Melody and Josse for a run.  It was so fun to visit with them again.  I ran from my house to meet up, did about 7 with them and ran back.  Marie and I ran a little faster than the others for part.  Avg 7: 20.

I felt like I was going to have a heart attack at my son's championship baseball game that night.  Tie game, extra innings, etc.  We were the home team and only needed one point to win for about three innings.  Finally bases loaded and my son's up to bat.  Thankfully only 1 out at this point or I would have really been a mess.  Well he got a hit, ran to base holding the bat over his head cheering, our man ran in and game over, his team took the championship!  My blood pressure was probably through the roof, my chest literally hurt afterwards.

I sacrificed my run in an effort to get the grocery shopping done.  I wanted to go on Monday, but my days have been so full.  It's rediculous that it took me until Friday.  My other son had a 3 x 3 soccer tournament in the afternoon.  As I sat there in the shade eating strawberries and bananas before the game I thought, "This is the life, sitting in the shade eating fruit," then a couple hours later when they played the best team in their group I felt almost like the night before, down by one, only a minute left to play, total anxiety, then score and tie game.

Met Melanie B for a 15 mile run in Provo Canyon, Avg 7:15 pace.  We started running up from Nun's Park.  Uphill and into a fierce wind, my lungs were burning at an 8:30 pace.  We could hardly hear each other to have a conversation so we turned around after 1.5 miles and drove to the top so we could just run down.  After that first bit the run was really fun, then we iced in the river.  Melanie found a very shallow spot to sit.  Probably a place that is just flooded because the rivers so high and usually doesn't have water.
