Running Accomplishments:

This blog is intended for my wife, Alison, to log how much she runs. Currently I (Desi) enjoy running the distance between my house and the mailbox. I get more excited about my wife's running than she does. My wife completed the Top of the Mountain marathon in Logan, Utah(2007) with the personal best time of 3:33 her first marathon.

  Ali  has some awesome friends to run with that continue to keep her on the run and very motivated most of the time.

 


Short-Term Running Goals:

Ali's Goals:

Work on getting stronger in shorter distance races.


Long-Term Running Goals:

Ali : Try keep fit and running the rest of my life.  Help those around me appreciate the importance of staying fit and healthy.

Maybe get into the couple running thing with my wife, but I don't know!( motivation is lacking)

Personal:

We have 4 children (2 girls, and 2 boys). I am very supportive of my wife and her running.   I do all the bragging for her. Played football at BYU, but I never have had the long distance threshold.  I blame that on my size.   We met at a local dance club while attending college. We have been married for 11 wonderful years.

I heard the wind this morning and knew Jamie was running toward my house.  I drove to her house to get her and she was freezing.  We decided to run in Springville to get away from the wind.  We were good until we got into Mapleton and had the wind in our face for about a mile.  I kept missing where we were supposed to turn so we had to keep backtracking (sorry Jamie)  We finally made it back to our car after all the changes , and slipping on the ice we did.  I told Jamie we probably should have stayed in Spanish Fork she agreed, but oh well, we got our run in.  

 I went down to the gym and did weights with my husband around 10:00.

Hey Ali! I saw you at the gym this morning. There is a new pump teacher. You should try it sometime!

Good, bad, or ugly you got it done. Good job!

I saw that class. I didn't recognize the teacher. She looked like she was pushing the class pretty hard, but I didn't stand there and stare too long. I'll have to try it sometime.
