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!

A nice morning St. Patrick's day run! I normally meet with Miriam and Coach to do three loops around Sugarhouse Park. Miriam has an infected foot and Coach is in New York for his father-in-law's funeral. So, I ran four miles in Murray Park and then rushed off to work.

I did a core workout followed by a spin class at the gym. The Tuesday morning instructor (Kim) always gives me a challenging workout!

I met Renae this morning at the Olympic Oval to do 6 x 200 meter repeats. Since it's spring break, there were no speed skaters there to dodge on the track--so that was nice!

I've never done one in 36 seconds before, so I was pretty excited about that!!

Later on I went to the gym to do 20 minutes on the stairmaster--ouch!

I did some upper body work and some squats. Then I did a spin class. It was so tough! We did some efficiency work, meaning we'd put more weight on one leg for some of the time. I think I'm taking tomorrow off. I have a feeling I'm going to be sore. I also need to rest up for Saturday's big hill workout in Bountiful.

A Bountiful run always means a HILL workout, and that was exactly right. We ran a 14 mile loop which included a 1.7 mile uphill segment. It was a great feeling of accomplishment after we got to the top!

For Dominique's birthday, Andrea brought some cupcakes for us to eat after the run. I don't feel guilty eating stuff like that after such a great run!
