| Location: So. Jordan,UT,USA Member Since: May 12, 2008 Gender: Female Goal Type: Marathon Finish Running Accomplishments: St.George marathon 2009 - 3:34:07. It was a PR on my 11th time running St. George.
Short-Term Running Goals: Run St. George in under 3:30; be in the top 3 in my age group Long-Term Running Goals: Stay strong, run well for many more years. Still set PR's in my 50's.
Learn how to run more relaxed and efficient. Personal: I'm married with four children. I run with a group called the Bingham Butt-Kickers, a really fun group of people that gets me out running early on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and sometimes Saturdays. I recently found out that I've been running with poor form for many years, which has probably contributed to some nagging aches and pains I've had for years. One of my big goals now is to be able to run with better form and to have running feel more effortless. I hope this won't take too many years to achieve! |

I decided to kind of do the proverbial "kill two birds with one stone" today. I had to take my van for service to Riverton Chevy in the Auto Mall, so I decided instead of getting a ride home that I would run home. I went west on 106th to the Parkway Trail, ran it to 9800 So., took that to the canal road, then thru Bingham, then home. I guess I would call it fun. Still don't like how tense I sometimes feel while running. Later I got on the treadmill and ran 3 more miles. Mild coughing/sick feeling after. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. | | Add Comment |
| | I met the group at Parkway Palisades. We ran the hills, the one mile repeat, the two mile, some hill sprints, a tempo run. We had it all. It was fun being with everyone. Then later I went to pick up my van, so I walked/ran back to Riverton Chevy. By the end I was running pretty well, had some in the 6 minute splits (just for 30 seconds or so). Felt pretty good about that run. | | Comments(5) |
| | I didn't plan it this way, but I just didn't get a run in today. I did run 3 times yesterday, so maybe subconsciously I was thinking I really didn't need to run today. The only thing I did was a few little form exercies, so that's why I don't have a complete zero for mileage. | | Add Comment |

I ran to the SJ park, trying to get well warmed up for our 5Ks. We started running and I found myself not far behing Peggy, Cheris and Michelle. I was hoping to maintain that, but gradually I fell behind. However, I was happy with my time, 23:49, because that is about 3 minutes faster than I ran it about a month ago. I was pretty wasted at the end, more coughing/sick feeling that I would have liked, but not as bad as it's been lately, so I'll see that as progress. After some recovery time, we ran it again. I knew I had to take it easier on this one, and my time was 25:04. Not bad for feeling sick for some of the run. Later I hit the canal road with the schnauzer and ran a little more, mainly still working on getting a better form. I think I've figured out the best form to run with, now I just need to be able to maintain it for an extended period of time. It is so easy to fall back into the old tense, tight, inefficient way. | | Comments(5) |
| | I started out on the canal road walking/running to warm-up. Then I ran 30 minutes straight. Not overly happy because I still felt too tense. Also, it was windy, which I did not enjoy. So then I went inside and ran 3 miles on the treadmill. That was my favorite run of the day. By the way, does anybody else think it seems to be windy all the time, at least in the So. Jordan area? | | Comments(3) |
