| 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! |

| | We met with coach Steve at Alta High and he had planned a track workout, but because some of us were still recovering from Ogden we decided to postpone the track work until next week and just run easy on the streets today. I like the streets around Alta because there is both uphill and downhill work. We don't get as much of that around Bingham high where we run a lot. It was a fun run and we picked Steve's brain about various running things such as correct running pace and better recovery and nutrition. Thanks Steve for all your insights. I went out and bought chocolate milk after so I would have a better recovery drink; we'll see if being more diligent about recovery will help my legs feel better this week. | | Add Comment |
| | Met with the group today at Bingham high and we ran along the canal road and then into a neighborhood for slightly faster running--but not too fast, Steve. Once again I kind of died during the run so cut it short and left about 6:30. Then went to yoga class at 8:45; I'm still very tight, especially on my left side. I think once I get a bit more flexibility there my running will improve--at least that's the hope. I also did a little pool running to make up for cutting the street running short. I haven't included that in the mileage because I'm not quite sure how to do that. | | Comments(1) |
| | I needed a rest day so all I got in was 3 miles. This doesn't help my mileage total, but it's all I felt I could do today. I did ride my stationary bike for 30 minutes also. | | Add Comment |
| | I warmed up on my treadmill and figure I got in about 1/2 mile, then I met with our So. Jordan group at 6:00am and we ran a couple of 2 mile repeats--actually they were both slightly over 2 miles, so I think I got in 5 today. The first 2 miles was 16:45 and the second was just about 16 minutes even. | | Add Comment |
| | Up early again to meet Peggy and Debbie at the Rec Center and then we ran 5 miles, mainly on the canal road. It was a little faster than I would have run on my own on an easy day, but overall it was ok and it was fun to talk to them. | | Add Comment |
| | I ran an hour today, with one of the 30 minutes on my treadmill where I did fast minutes and the other 30 minutes on the canal road where the wind was blowing and my ipod wasn't working right (somehow it got on some repeat function so I had to listen to the same song over and over and over...) so that wasn't too pleasant. My miles weren't great this week but I think my legs are slowly feeling better, so the plan for next week is to run more. | | Comments(2) |
