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.

I did taebo this morning I felt like I could run also, but I had to get back home to my kids because my husband worked a graveyard and was sleeping. I also taught the circuit class at my church today for the ladies in my neighborhood. We had 8 women show up today. I'm really glad I can do this for the women in my neighborhood. I can't wait to get a run in with Jamie tomorrow.

I got up this morning to run with Jamie and Amber,but the snow was too much for me.  I ended up running on the treadmill down at the gym. THere was a lady I know so I ran by her and it made the time go by a lot faster.

I did taebo today at the gym . IT  was lower body day so she worked us really hard. My legs are tired. After taebo I ran on the treadmill next to Amber. She is a trooper I tell you I don't know how she can run 10 miles on the treadmill.   I can't wait to run outside tomorrow.

I met up with Jamie and Amber and we ran about 8 miles today.  It was pretty warm(for the winter) , no wind, a little snow but overall  it was a good run today.  

I did the circuit training class today for the ladies in my neighborhood today.  They were calling me Jillian. It was pretty funny. I kept telling them it was there workout and they need push it their hardest.  Some of the ladies need a little more motivation than others.

I ran over to the stake center to run with Amber. Josse was there too. It was foggy so I always freak myself out in the fog because of that movie called Fogmen or something like that. We started out with the Spanish Fork group but didn't stay with them much.

Hey Amber my number is 798-0363 if you want to go with me on monday.
