2012 St. George Marathon 2:54:39 Long-Term Running Goals: I love to run! I want to feel good and run for a very long time. Personal: My husband Brent and I live in Orem with our three kids ages 12, 10 & 7. Brent is a Marriage and Family Therapist and I'm at home with the kids. I used to be a CPA, but now I just do a little bookkeeping from home. For a lot of years running a marathon was something I did to get back in shape after having a baby. Just finishing was accomplishment enough, now I want to finish faster.
I ran the St. George Marathon in 3:18 when I was 18 and set a record for my age division 15-18. Now I train with the girl who broke my record. I love the marathon and half marathon. Long runs are what keep me from going crazy. Favorite Blogs: |

| 4 miles avg 7:23 pace. I didn't sleep well last night so I'm tired. Over the weekend I said something to my husband about my push-ups/pull-ups etc. My husband told me my arms were looking bigger. That wasn't what I wanted to hear! I told him, "I'm not going for bigger, I just want to be stronger!" He tried to recover by saying I looked more "toned." I do feel stronger though. I graduated from doing women's push-ups to men's push-ups today. I had to cut back on the number though. | Comments(6) |

10 mile run with hills, avg 7:13 pace. It was 8 degrees when I woke up so I waited until 10:00 a.m. when it was a toasty 15 degrees outside.
I thought for a few minutes abougt skipping today because I'm doing speed work tomorrow and running my 10 on Thursdsay, but I needed the run mentally. My compulter was freaking out, shutting down, and at first I thought it was because the plug wasn't in really good in the back. But then I got a message saying it failed to start and the "start-up repair" began. Three prayers and 20 minutes later the computer seemed to be working again, but my anxiety level was still really high. The computer is only 9 months old and this is the time of year I really need it to do my bookkeeping. | Add Comment |

8 miles total. Met Emily, Melody, Desiree, Rebeca and Josse at the BYU indoor track for a speed workout. 8 x 800 meters with 1 1/2 lap jogging recovery. My splits were: 2:53 (too fast), 3:01, 3:01, 3:02, 3:01, 3:01, 3:01, 3:03. I felt the worst on #2 and #3 because I did the first one too fast. After #4 I thought I wouldn't be able to do 8, but 3:01 must have been the right pace, because I didn't feel any worse on #5, 6 and 7. I felt the fatigue setting in on the last one though and was glad to stop.
I was tired from my run yesterday. This morning I woke up at 4:30 a.m. when I heard the computer make a noise. I was afraid it was spontaneously shutting down on me again and I was all of the sudden totally awake with a rush of anxiety. I laid there stressing about it for 15 min then walked into the office and it seemed to be just fine. I still couldn't go back to sleep before my alarm went off at 5:15 a.m. | Comments(2) |

20 miles avg 7:16 pace. Met Melody, Josse, Rebecca and two other girls I've never met before who were in town visiting. Ran up Provo Canyon 7 miles from the River Woods to Vivian. We didn't plan to go up that far, but the trail was amazingly clear. I was so thirsty when we got there that I pulled out a Poweraid I stashed away last August. It only took one sip to learn that 5 month old Poweraid tastes funny an might have mold in it. Our pace up was about 7:45. Melody and I sped up on the way down and did a 5 mile tempo starting after mile 10. The tempo miles were 6:17,6:19,6:14,6:17,6:22. The first three miles were together then I just had to stop at the drinking fountain but Melody kept going. I got a drink and it was a little hard to get going fast again, but after about 1/2 mile I felt better. We met up and ran another 5 miles with the other girls. It started to really rain the last mile and continued to rain and then snow most of the day so I was glad we ran when we did. | Add Comment |
