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.

Ran 8 easy miles wtih Maire, Josse, Melody, Rebecca and Amanda. 

This was my easiest marathon recovery.  My legs were sore for a few days, but not so bad I couldn't walk the stairs normally.  I got better socks, so no blisters and I remembered to cut my toe nails so I'm not going to lose any of those either. 

The only thing bothering me is my head cold.  I could feel it coming on a few days before the race and and am just glad it didn't materialize until afterwards.  I think not getting enough sleep on Friday and Saturday nights is what finally really brought it on.  I was so tired when I went to bed Saturday night, but woke up in the middle of the night and it took a long time to go back to sleep.  Then I woke up early in the morning and couldn't go back to sleep then either.  I kept thinking about the race.

Nothing today.  Took Tylenol PM to try to get more sleep so I can get rid of my head cold.

9 miles up/down Provo Canyon/Bonneville Shoreline Trail.  The fall colors in the trees were beautiful.  Usually I wouldn't be able to do this type of run only a week after a marathon.  I felt really good, almost over the head cold too.
