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.

Yoga and 4 miles easy with my daughter in the stroller. Didn't time myself. I feel like I'm getting sick, runny nose and sore throat.

10 miles @ average 7:07 pace.  I felt worse than I should have felt for that pace.  Ate  really healthy and took a long nap in the afternoon.

10 miles @ avg 7:02 pace.  Felt a little better than Tues, but still not 100%.  Ran at 6:00 a.m. then got my boys off to school.  Then spent 2 1/2 hours in bed while my daughter played with her cousins at grandma's house.

4 miles @ avg 7:32 pace.  I feel like this cold is going to my lungs!  Usually if I don't beat a cold in three or four days I end up at the doctor's office after 10 or 12.  But I don't feel like I have that kind of time right now, with my marathon in 2 weeks.  So I went to the doctor and got medicine for my sinus infection.

18 miles up/down Provo Canyon/South Fork.  The medicine really kicked in and I felt a ton better today than yesterday.  I've always intended to do a 2 week taper, but don't think I've ever ended up doing it.  Avg 7:22 pace up & 6:36 pace down, total 6:59 pace.
