I want to set some new PRs this year.

Personal:

I started running in 2001.  My first 5K was the Salt Lake Classic that year.  I ran it in just under 33 minutes.  I was excited that I could run the whole distance.  My dad and I joked around about doing a marathon, but then we decided, "Why joke about it when we could actually do one?"  We trained for the Top of Utah marathon the next year and ran it in 5:38.  It was such a great feeling of accomplishment!

It's been fun to see how I've improved over the years. It's been such a blessing in my life to have met so many other running friends and to train under such a dedicated and selfless Coach (Bill Schmid).  I hope to keep improving and thriving in the great sport of running!

Coach, Miriam, and I ran 3 loops around Sugarhouse Park.  It was pretty snowy and icy, so we were very careful not to fall down!  

Coach talked about how pleased he is to see so many of us in his group improving.  I'm sure we'll see some PRs this year!

This morning we did 200 m repeats at the Oval.  Renae dropped out after the first one due to some pain in her quad.  Marie did 3 repeats, then had to hurry off to work. I ended up doing seven.  They were all around 40 seconds. 

The world cup training is going on at the Oval, so I saw skaters from Great Britain and France.  They really spread out over the running track, so it became increasingly difficult to do repeats while jumping over them and dodging them.

In the evening, I joined Craig, Dominique, Tracy C, Tracy H, Natalie, and Andrea for Hill Kills.  It was an enjoyable workout.  It got me energized to work my graveyard shift.

Today was a weight workout followed by 20 minutes on the elliptical machine.  I did the best I could, considering I had a tylenol p.m. "hangover".  I need it to sleep during the day, but it always makes me groggy.

Ran easy miles in Murray Park.  I am anticipating a hard running workout tomorrow, so I want to be fresh for that.

I went to see the U2 3D movie at Jordan Commons.  Amazing!  I felt like I was in the front row at a concert.
