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. It was 12 degrees when I woke up so I decided to wait until later in the morning to run. I worked on my computer until 10:30 a.m. then looked at the temperature on my screen. It said 19 degrees and I thought, "I waited all these hours for only 7 degrees!" But when I checked my clock/themometor in my kitchen it said 26 degrees, much better.

When I left my house I only had 1 hr 14 minutes until my daughter was getting off the bus from kindergarten. I wanted 10 miles and knew I needed to run about 7 min miles to get it done. Two traffic light stops, two short drink stops and a 6:50 pace got me home with 4 minutes to spare. I felt so good. I guess that's what happens when I get 8 hours of sleep for several nights and cut back on the sweets.

14 miles with Melanie, Kim and Jane. It was nice to be able to go up Provo Canyon again before the snow sets in. Although we did have to walk over a big thick patch of ice near Bridal Veil Falls. Avg 7:03 pace.
