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.

Ali:

Waited for Jamie to pick me up. Kids woke up at 0500. Put them back to bed then went to Gold's Gym and did the one hours spin class. Then did one hour of yoga. Jamie where R U?

Desi:

Thought about running out in the snow today. Started laughing. Then headed down to gold gyms when my wife returned home and did 40 minutes on the elliptical. Felt great.

today I did one hour of taebo and an hour of an interval class I instruct for a group of women in my neighborhood.  It's  really rewarding when you see some of these women working hard to shed 50 to 60 pounds.  I'd  like to get some of them out running but none of them want to brave the cold. I am not sure how many miles of running any of this equates into so I won't put any mileage down.  I like the cross training because it keeps  my options open and my love for running stronger than it would be if I didn't cross train.

I ran to Jamie's house and we did an eight mile loop.  Jamie had to be back to her house by 7:00 so we split  up at the fork in the road along canyon road in Spanish Fork.  There was no wind so it was a great morning to run.  So running from Jamie's to my house was great because the wind was not pushing me back.

I had to run on a treadmill at the gym today because Desi had to work at five in the morning.  I did a mile and a half warm up then ran intervals ranging from 3-4 minutes.  The intervals were between a 6.22 and 6.00 minute pace.  I had to get back to the babysitter so I was done after suffering for one hour on the treadmill.
