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 avg 7:25 pace. I felt fine running my 20 on Saturday, but later that day my hamstring started hurting and Sunday I could hardly walk. I had a shooting pain down the back of my leg that felt nerve related. I didn't run Monday and wasn't sure how far I would make it when I headed out this day. I did my 10 miles but it was uncomfortable. I was happy I didn't feel worse later in the day as a result of my run.

Nothing today. I went on a field trip with my son's 5th grade class and all the waking made my leg hurt. I tried to run 2 doors down to return something to my mom's house and was discouraged because there was no way I could go on a run feeling the way I did.

10 miles avg 7:30 pace. I felt even less confident heading out the door today than I did on Tuesday. My leg seemed to warm up better and my hamstring didn't feel as bad at the end of my run. I was going slow and my 10 miles felt like 20 though. My legs were unusually tired. The only encouraging thing about this run was a few hours later when I realized my hamstring is actually feeling better than it did before the run instead of worse.
