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 met up with Jamie. I drove to her house because it was a little windy.  We ran around IFA kind of .  We looped back on the spanish fork trail over that way than down by the factory right off the highway.  IT wasn't that windy the way we went thank goodness.  I went down to the gym later and did a weight class. We ran  our 8.5er in about 1 hour 12 min.

I've had a rough day today. I woke up this morning at 5:00 to go to the gym. My husband just got home from his graveyard shift and my baby woke up. I couldn't leave her with him because he needed to sleep. So I stayed home hoping she would go back to sleep but I fell back to sleep instead. It was too late to get anything in by the time I woke up because I had to get my kids ready for school and get ready for a funeral. A lady in our neighborhood died of cancer. She left behind 3 kids. By the time the funeral was over I was drained emotionally and I had a headache from crying so much. I took some motrin. I got my kids from school. When I returned home I told my husband that I needed to get out for a few miles . He let me go ( God bless him ) and I got in a run around the golf course. I even ran up the hill to the gun range (that one was for you Jamie). IT was an emotional run I be crying one second and trying to get to the end the next. Life to me is like a hard run. Sometimes you just want to give up and quit (it would be easier) but you always know that once you are finished it was all worth the effort.

Met up. with Jamie this morning.  It wasn't as cold as I thought it would be .  We did a stretch east (because there was no wind) and down into the river bottoms.  I was tire today because I did my run so late yesterday and  I don't think my was quite ready to run.  Oh well I 'm glad I had Jamie there to get me through it.
