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 was so tired I stayed in bed until 9:30 a.m. and didn't run at all.

8 miles up/down Suncrest. This street is so hard to run up, up, up. At mile 2 I felt like I was going to throw-up when we stopped for a breather, stop again at mile 3 and again when we turned around at mile 4. A lot easier coming down.

Bryce Canyon 1/2 Marathon. This is my 5th year doing this race. Every year I've run it faster than the last, but knew that wasn't going to happen this year. I pulled out the split times from my 1:23:48 year a few years ago and shot for that. I was worried about being trained for the distance, something I don't usually think about with 1/2 Marathons, but it turned out ok.

Splits: 6:36, 6:41, 5:56, 5:58, 6:10, 6:07, 6:21, 6:27, 6:37, 6:30, 6:32, 6:34, 6:28, last .1 6:14 pace.

I was pleased with this time. I know I'm not in as good of shape as I was the last two years. Melanie and I drove down together without our families for this one, and stayed at her friends house the night before. We iced in the river afterwards. The 23 1/2 hour trip was fun.
