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 on my treadmill. It was in the teens and the roads were covered in snow. Warm-up 2 miles @ 7:30 pace, 3 miles @ 6:15 pace, 1 mile 7:30 pace, 3 x 1 mile with one minute rest 6:11 pace for first one and 1/2 @ 6:11 pace then 1/2 @ 6:00 pace for the last 2, 1 mile cool-down @ 7:30 pace. I turned my son's i-pod on with some speakers down in my basement and it wasn't too bad. Took a couple of shot blocks too.

14 miles in about 14 degrees. I didn't feel bad physically, but this run was hard mentally. I was so bored and simply hated running this day. The roads were bad so we had to run single file most of the way, little to no conversation even with four of us, me, Melody, Melanie and Kim. We stopped inside the Wilkinson Center at BYU for a drink and I wanted to be done. Then I realized we had only gone 7 miles, less than the usual Tues/Thurs 10, and I wasn't even tired. I was just sick of it!
