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.

1/2 mile on treadmill still Achilles pain.  It's more concentrated in one particular spot now.  I called Josse and she came over to rub and scrape my legs.  My husband asked if massage therapists did that and I said, "Well it's more of a physical therapy thing, so I suppose she's not technically trained to..." and my husband cut me off to say, "bruse the living daylights out of your legs!"  They look bad and the bruises hurt some, but overall I think it really helped. 

I think Josse needs to set a rate and advertise on the blog for her leg rubbing and scraping.  With all these injured runners that could turn into a good business for her.

Swam at the Fitness Center for 40 minutes.  I can't pace myself well swimming so I swim for about 3 minutes then I have to rest at the end of the pool for a minute and go again.  40 minutes includes the time I spent catching my breath on the side of the pool.
