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!

Core/leg workout followed by 20 min on the Stairmaster. I haven't done that for awhile, so it pretty much wiped me out!

I was going to meet Coach Bill, Miriam, and T-4 at City Creek early this morning, but I was unable to fall asleep until 2:30 a.m. So, I opted to sleep in and I ran three loops around Murray Park on my own.

Core and arm workout followed by 20 minutes on the elliptical trainer.

Then I headed off to book club with my mom. I'm glad I worked out, because we ate lunch and there were a lot of Marie Calendar pies for dessert! That's my weakness!!

I love the Cedar City course! It is a PR for me! I registered in the Clydesdale division (female 39 and under) and got 1st place overall--breaking the course record in that category!!!

I was able to meet a couple of the bloggers--WildBull and Dustin. There was quite a few bloggers in attendance.

Splits:

1- 7:31

2- 7:08

3- 7:21

4- 7:23

5- 7:21

6- 7:15

.2- 1:30 Coach yelled at me to push it to the end. I felt like puking. I was glad to cross the finish line.

I guess technically it's a 5K PR as well. My best 5k is 22:59, but both halves of this race I ran in 22:45, so that's a double bonus!

Coach did great. He ran a 37:40, and his third year in a row getting gold in his age group. Marie on the blog did a PR as well: 44:33. We are all very happy with how we raced today! This is when all that hard work and training we do throughout the year really pays off.

Another PR for me! I wasn't sure how I'd do after running the 10k yesterday. My legs were a little stiff, but seemed to be fine during the race.

1- 7:09

2- 7:01

3- 6:54

.1- 0:45

Coach was there pushing me to kick it in at the end. I had a good sprint, thanks to all those 200m repeats we do!
