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. It was difficult getting out of bed this morning! My cats were laying on me and did not want me to get up.
I did some stretches after the run. Coach says do them at least once a day, no excuses!
Core workout, followed by arm workout, then a spin class with Michelle as the instructor. I'm glad I worked out so hard today, since it was my friend's graduation from the U. We went to Canella's for lunch and then the Braza Grill for dinner. I consumed a lot of meat!
