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.

10 miles with Melanie and Melody in Provo Canyon. Started @ Bridal Veil park. Ran up the canyon 2 miles to warm-up. Ran 3 miles tempo down @ 6:11, 6:12, 6:11. Then 10 min slower run back up to Bridal Veil park. Ended with 3 x 1 mile with 1 min standing rest @ 6:01, 6:05, 6:04. All the fast miles were going down the canyon. I liked this workout once the three miles tempo was over.

17 miles with Melanie and Melody along Jordan River parkway. The plan was a progression run. The first half was fine, but I just couldn't speed up on the second half. I was unusually tired. I think it was the build-up of so many fast runs over the last three weeks. I also didn't sleep enough and ate too many sweets this week. Avg 7:03 pace.

When I got home I went straight to the shower and almost fell over twice because I felt so exhausted. I went to the ward Christmas breakfast for 1 hour. Then I came home and went straight back to bed for 2 1/2 hours.
