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.

14 miles with Melanie on the Jordan River trail.  We did 5 x .75 with .5 recovery.  My interval times weren't very fast, around 6:20 pace.  Had to stop to stretch a lot, avg 7:02 though.

11.5 miles.  Met Melanie at Bridal Veil and ran up/down trail and South Fork from there.  Melanie went 12 faster than I went 11.5.  It still takes me so long to warm up.  My right leg starts feeling dead, like blood isn't circulating to it and I have to stop.  It's worse on uphill.  Avg 7:09, but I had a lot of minutes with my watch stopped.

23 miles down Provo Canyon from Wallsburg.  Met Melanie and Jane for this run.  I was happy I didn't have to stop in the first few miles to stretch with the "dead leg" thing.  It still bothered me some, but I was able to just stretch at regular water stops.  Avg 6:47 pace.  This run gave me hope that I can run St. George close to 3 hours if I don't have to stop.
