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: |

| Weight training at the gym today. I was going to do some cardio, but I ran into my old trainer and talked with him for awhile. The last time I saw him was over a year ago. He is back working at the gym. He wants to meet with me this week to do some intense weight lifting. It makes me a little nervous--I remember how hard his lifting sessions were and I have some anxiety just thinking about it! | | Add Comment |

"Whatever doesn't kill you will make you stronger."
Today was a City Creek run with Bill, Scott, Miriam, and Alicia. I feel like I'm in pretty good shape, but for some reason when I run with them, I feel like I haven't run a day in my life! As they jog leisurely up the canyon, chatting amongst themselves, telling stories, I am huffing and puffing and sound like I need a lung transplant. They are a tough bunch to keep up with! I ran with them to the treatment plant, then went my own pace up to the top. A pretty good accomplishment today. When I run it alone, I run it around two hours. Today we did it in 1:50, which is about a minute per mile faster than what I normally do. I think all this training will pay off in future races.
Scott has been rating our runs lately using a "ding dong" scale. Today's run was worth at least five ding dongs. These are just hypothetical ding dongs--I don't actually consume them after every run!!
I'm contemplating riding my bike up City Creek on Thursday. That will be a different perspective of the canyon for sure. | | Comments(5) |

I met with my trainer at the gym, but he had something come up so he couldn't work me out today. So, I went to a spin class and did some core work.
I wanted to bike City Creek canyon tomorrow, but due to the wild fires, I don't think that's an option right now. | | Add Comment |

| I had a day off, so I decided to go for a hike in Big Cottonwood Canyon. It is so beautiful up there. I started at the Mill D trailhead. I hiked past Desolation Lake to the Wasatch Crest trail. A lot of bikers out! I'm guessing it was around 15 miles of hiking. It took me about five hours. It was a great way to spend a day off! | | Comments(3) |

| I met with the trainer for a core/arm workout at the gym. It was great talking with him again. However, I am not signing up to do any more sessions. I think I like working out on my own! | | Add Comment |

| We met at the Capitol today for an out-and-back course to the This Is The Place Monument. Nothing too difficult today, just a nice run with good conversation. I gave Scott a scare this morning. He got out of his car, looking like he didn't sleep much through out the night. He groggily asked, "How far are we running today?" With my very best poker face, I said, "We're going to be running 28 miles." The look on his face was priceless. He looked devastated, like he was going to go back to his car and drive off. I said, "Scott, I am just joking. I think it's 13 or 14 miles." A look of relief washed over his face. He said, "You are a very kind person, and I just never thought you'd be capable of pulling off a lie. You totally got me!" We laughed about it throughout the run. Today was our last run with Alicia and Cortney. :-( They are moving to California today. I will really miss her, especially during football season. We had some great football chats on our long runs. I think they'll come back every now and again and run with us. We had bagels to wish them well. | | Add Comment |
