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.

4 miles avg 7:11 pace.  My hamstring was a little better.  I still didn't rub it out over the weekend like I should have so I dug into it a little when I got home.  Hopefully tomorrow it will feel good.

10 miles avg 7:13 pace.  It felt so good to go 10 miles again.  All except the dull aching pain in my hamstring.  At least it wasn't a sharp piercing pain like last week.

Ran 6 miles with Marie, Amanda and Rebecca.  I don't usually run on Wednesday, but thought it would be fun to get together with friends.  Avg 7:40 pace.

I met Marie and Rebecca for a run.  Marie ran a 6 mile loop with us and headed home from the start of the Canyon.  Rebecca and I went up the canyon a few miles and I ran her back down to the drinking fountain.  At this point I had 10.5 miles at an average 7:30 pace.  I headed back up the canyon a few more miles and then home for a total of 20 miles and an average 7:15 pace.  Why did I run 20 miles today?  That's what I was thinking at about mile 16 when I started to feel tired.  I guess "Because I can."
