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!

I met Coach, Alicia, and Tracy Hansen for 3 loops around Sugarhouse Park.  I was still recovering from Saturday's run.  I also overdid it on my Easter candy consumption yesterday, so I wasn't feeling on top of my game.

Today was a core workout followed by 20 minutes on the ellpitical machine.  I would have like to have done a spin class, but I woke up too late.  I really enjoy sleeping in!

My throat really burned when we got done. 

That night, I met Andrea, Johnny, Murphy, T-1, T-4, T-2 (so many Tracys!), Walter, Natalie, and Jaxton for hill kills.  It was a beautiful night to go running!

Upper body workout at the gym, followed by 20 minutes on the elliptical machine. 

Last night I really went overboard on my consumption of chocolate.  I don't know why--I wasn't even really hungry, but I just kept eating and eating.  I need to put a lock on the pantry door!

Spin class at the gym.  I don't think I gave it my best effort.  I've been pretty tired lately.  Maybe a sign of overtraining?  I have a tough workout lined up for tomorrow--intervals as well as hill kills.

Interval workout in Taylorsville.  We ran 6 x 400m intervals.  Then we did six hill kills!  I have a hard time waking up on Saturday mornings, but it's always worth it with the quality workouts we do!
