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.

Melanie and I ran a Thanksgiving 10k race.  I was about to publish this as a race report, but I wasn't registered and I don't even know the name of the race.  It started at the factory outlet mall at 123rd south.  My splits were 6:21, 6:18, 6:40, 6:58, 6:44, 6:40.  Clearly I ran the first two miles too fast.  Fun anyway. Melanie would have taken 1st and I would have been 2nd if we signed up.

4 miles with my husband on his bike.  We rode along the new trail covering the canal near my house.  It's a much better way to get to the cemetery.

14 miles with Melanie and Melody up/down Provo Canyon.  I think our avg to the top was 7:07, but my watch got messed up so I cleared it and got our avg down at 6:36.  Melanie had our overall avg at 6:52. 

Melanie and Melody wanted to ice in the river.  I went along, but when we got there I didn't want to get in and decided to just sit on a rock and keep them company.  They took abotu 15-20 seconds getting situateded in the water, then I looked at my watch and said, "Ok, time of day 8:41."  We started talking and soon Melody said she was freezing and about done and Melanie agreed.  They started to get out as Melody said, "What time is it?"  I looked at my watch and said, "8:42."  We all laughed, "It's only been one minute!" Melody said.  I siad, "Well, it's probably been more than one minute, but less than two."  I was glad I didn't get in for only 2 minutes!  The water was probably 33 degrees.
