Short-Term Running Goals:

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!

Three loops around Sugarhouse Park with Coach and Miriam.  I avoid talking when we run up hills.  I am too out of breath!!

I did about an hour of weights then hit the elliptical for 20 minutes.  I've worked 11 days straight, so I'm pretty tired today.

It was a speed workout with Coach and Marie.  We did 4 x 200s.

1- 38 sec

2- 38 sec

3- 39 sec

4- 38 sec

This is by far the best speed workout I've had all year.  It's really exciting to see I'm getting stronger!

I ran two loops around Murray Park.  I pushed it on some of the hills.

Bountiful Hill Workout:   We ran from Coach's house to the bottom of the BIG hill (Eaglewood).  We ran up the hill to the golf course.  The others continued up the hill, past the golf course to Hidden Lake Dr.  I rode in the car for that part of it since my asthma was acting up.  I need to go to a doctor to get it checked out.  I have an inhaler, but it doesn't seem to be working.

All in all, it was a great workout!  I feel like I am getting stronger.  I am motivated to keep improving and challenge myself!
