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.

I spent the weekend totally "babying" my knee. I didn't do anything to cause it any pain, in an effort to let the tendons heal. After "limping" for a couple of days I can now walk normally without pain, only minor discomfort doing stairs, and am able to bend it much farther than before. I went to the fitness center this morning and did the elyptical for 55 min and it didn't hurt doing that either. I still feel a little swelling and some pain when I bend my knee to far or twist my leg etc. I'm encouraged that I think I will be able to run again in much less pain at the end of the week.

I decided I was going to run today and so I did. We drove to Arches National Park yesterday and hiked around with the kids. When I woke up my knee hurt again. I ran becuse I planned to, but only went 2 miles. After 1 mile I turned around and ran back to the hotel. I feel like I just undid my week of rest with a few hours of hiking and a 2 mile run.
