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 ran three loops around Murray Park before work. I can definitely tell it's summer now--pretty warm this morning!

Core and leg workout followed by 20 min on the elliptical trainer. It was really hot in the gym!

Core and upper body workout today. I did level 14 fat burn on the stairmaster.....20 minutes seemed to take forever! I was glad to get it done.

I read in my email that people who have participated in the Wasatch Back Relay for all five years get a free jacket!! I'm pretty excited about that.

I was on team Runamoks this year. We had six men and six women. We were a coed-submasters team. It was a lot of fun--good company, good running, and no sleep! I felt pretty strong on all of my legs. I was runner #4 in Van 1.

We were paced pretty evenly with our all-female team, the Run Amok Divas. It was fun running with them and visiting with all the other teams along the course.

I went to bed very early Saturday night--it felt great to sleep!
