Marathon: 3:55:16 St. George 2006 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! Favorite Blogs: |

| I went on a leisurely bike ride on the Parkway to get the lactic acid in my legs flowing. I'm still getting used to a bike--I'm not in my comfort zone yet. A friend at church does triathalons and told me about some bike routes that are nice that don't have much traffic. | | Comments(2) |

| Spin class at the gym. I'm still recovering from the WBR. I think I'm almost caught up on sleep! | | Add Comment |

| Nice easy run in City Creek this morning. I started at the lower gate and went to the top and back. I haven't been using my inhaler since I have an appointment at TOSH tomorrow to get my asthma checked out. They want me to be off medication for a few days before the appt. | | Comments(1) |

I had a doctor appointment at TOSH today. It was to help me find out the severity of my asthma. I got my pulmonary function tested (pft) without use of an inhaler. Then I ran outside for about a mile and got tested again. Then I took a couple of puffs of albuterol and had the pft fifteen minutes later.
Dr. Testa said that I had some hyperactivity in my lungs. He said that my allergies may be a trigger for asthma, so he wants me to take Singulair along with a bronchio-dilator before a hard workout. I told him that the group I run with is pretty intense, so their easy workout is a hard workout for me! | | Add Comment |

Speed workout at the Olympic Oval today. Bill and Miriam were there. We were going to do a 3 lap warmup, but Bill got talking about the Wasatch Back relay, so when I thought we were done with the warmup, he kept saying, "One more lap." It turned out to be a 7 lap warmup. He really had a lot to say about it! He is so proud of both of our teams.
We did 4 x 50m sprints and 4 x 200m sprints. Jude was there cheering us on. She was actually there for a work conference!
After the workout, I asked Bill where our run was going to be this Saturday. He said we were meeting in Kearns (that put some fear in my heart--our Kearns workouts consist of several intervals, sprints, hills, and tempo miles!). He noticed my scared expression and told me not to worry, that he was going to scale it down a bit. It has been such an intense June with all of our hard work and race efforts.
I told Bill I've been a little down since the WBR. He told me I am suffering from a "euphoria hangover." He said with all the great races I've had, it's normal to come back down and feel tired and worn out.
I went to the gym a little later on for a spin class. Tonight at work there is going to be a dutch oven-style dinner, so I'm excited about that! | | Comments(2) |

Upper body workout at the gym followed by 20 minutes on the elliptical trainer. I took it easy today. I'm getting fatigued from all of the workouts.
Our Coach emailed us a schedule of our Saturday workouts leading up to St. George. On one of the Saturdays, he has us scheduled to run Ragnar!!! We will conquer that beast! | | Add Comment |

The group met in Kearns today for a 10-miler. There were 15 of us: Coach, myself, Jennifer, Marie, T-4, Craig, Jason, Scott, Natles, Stevie, Miriam, Alicia, Andrea, Johnny, and Murphy. We warmed up about a mile then did Indian File down the canal road. It was fun and got me breathing hard! Then we ran three tempo miles. The first one was slightly downhill--6:55. The second one was slightly uphill--8:05. The last one was slightly downhill--7:10.
It was a nice, low-intensity run. I told Coach I hoped it wouldn't be too tough of workout, since I am feeling worn-out. I said, "I'm not just feeling sore from a workout last week, I am feeling the whole month of June right now!"
We had a nice time talking about the WBR and getting ready for our upcoming races. | | Comments(3) |
