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!

I met Coach and Miriam for three loops around Sugarhouse Park. Monday mornings I usually find myself dragging out of bed. Bill had a cold and had slept 18 hours. When we met today, he said, "You look like how I feel." He managed two loops and Miriam and I finished up the third.

I ran the first leg of the Runamok Divas team. I did a warmup run before the race with Bill, Natalie, and Johnny. I felt a little tight.

As soon as I started the race, I had shin splints, which were very painful! This definitely affected the quality of my race. My legs hurt with every step I took. They lasted for about 5 miles. It was pretty discouraging.

At mile seven, I handed off to Traci Hansen. Then Johnny, Natalie, Esther and I jogged to the 13 mile mark where Bill's car was parked for a ride to the finish line.

I couldn't hang around after the race since I had a wedding to go to for a good friend of mine. It was a good, long day. I ended up wearing two-inch heels for 12 hours straight. I was sore from the race, so it was a challenge to walk around and dance at the reception!!
