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.

No turkey race for me this year.  I'm sick of it.  My husband and sons went to a church flag football game and I hung out with my daughter, painting fingernails, etc.  I initially thought I would run 10 miles but by the time I left the house at 10:30 a.m. I didn't really care.  My husband came with my on the bike but he was pulling our daughter in the bike trailer and that slowed him down.  He should have eaten something before we left.  It was an easy 6 miles.  About 1/2 way through the run I messed up on my watch and stopped it when we ran and started it when we stoped etc.  Don't know the pace.

8.5 miles avg 7:18 pace.  I started this run with Marie, Rebecca, Amanda, Desiree, and some other girl I don't know.  They planned to run up Provo Canyon to Bridal Veil Falls and back on the Boneville Shoreline trail.  I don't like to run on trails, but thought I would run up the 3.5 miles with them and then turn around.  The wind was blowing hard out of the canyon so they decided to run it the other way.  I ran the .75 miles to the other end of the trail and then took off saying, "I don't do trails."  They know I don't like trails.  I ran up the canyon to the other end of the trail and stopped to stretch for a while thinking I would run down the canyon with them if they came soon.  They didn't come soon enough so I just headed back.

14 miles avg 7:15 pace.  I met Melanie B at her house and we ran an out and back course from there.  We decided we've lost conditioning.  At least I know I have.  We're only running a little slower than we used to, but we feel a whole lot worse doing it.  About three miles into the run my legs were so tired I couldn't imagine doing 14.  We were going uphill and I was talking a lot.  I had to stop to stretch and breath for a minute.  We finished going up the hill and a 1/2 mile later I felt a lot better.  The last two miles my legs felt tired again, but not as much as the start.  I was glad I had someone to run with because I wouldn't have run 14 on my own today.  Thanks Melanie.
