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.

10 miles with 6 x 1/2 mile repeats with 1/2 mile recovery in the middle.  I haven't done any speed work in 6 months so the first few really felt strange.  I ran from my house south on University Ave and back so the first 4 slightly downhill, last 2 slightly uphill.  1/2 mile interval paces, 6:42, 6:36, 6:28, 6:13, 6:46,6:42.  My whole run avg 7:39 pace.  When I looked at how long it took me I realized I finished this run a whole mile behind myself of a year ago.  That's discouraging.

Ran 12 miles with Melody and Amanda.  2.25 miles up South Fork @ about 8:30 pace and then down the canyon to Vintage (near Riverwoods) @ about 7 min pace.  Whole run Avg 7:17 pace.  I felt tons better than I did 10 days ago when we did this run so that made me happy.  It was nice to feel good doing some 7 min miles even if it was downhill.
