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.

Easy 5 miles with Melody and her friend.  Now I can't remember her name.  I have to really make an effort to remember names.  I guess I didn't make a big enough effort this time.  Iced in the river.  7:49 pace.

10 easy miles in the morning with friends.  Just under 8 min pace. 

My 3 year old daughter wanted to hike the "Y."  I told her I would take her when her brothers went back to school.  Well today was the first day of school and she remembered.  We went around noon in the heat.  I thought it would be easier to push her in the running stroller than piggy back her.  It took me 40 min to get up.  My claves were burning and I was exhausted.  We sat at the top throwing pebbles down the "Y."  I threw a real small one and said, "I coudn't even see where it went."  She said, "It went in the water!"  (Utah Lake)  It took 35 min to go down, breaks on the whole way.  Going down with the stroller was more stressful than tiring.  I don't recommend the stroller.

4 miles with Mark at 7:12 pace.  Started feeling sick with a head cold later in the day.  I haven't had enough sleep.

20 miles from my house up Provo Canyon & South Fork Canyon and back.  Slept in and left my house at 7:45 a.m.  Cool on the way up, but hot on the way back.  Average 7:36 pace.
