Personal:

 I have been a runner off and on since I was a kid.  Its something I have always loved and hope to be running until I'm just too old to do it anymore.  I enjoy running some 5ks and halfs each year and try to be consistent with my training.  But I often find it challenging with three kids to get all the miles in that I want to.

I love my kids so much, but running really is my sanity and I enjoy my "me" time.  I may just be forever a "middle of the pack" runner but have hopes of getting faster.

4 on the TM.  1/2 mile warmup, 3 mile sorta tempoish pace , 1/2 mile cool down.  Well I finally decided on my new years resolution.  Made a goal to run 1000 miles in 2013.  I figured that is about a 20 mile a week average, so I guess I better get to work.  Maybe if I could find a good race to sign up for in feb or march I could get some good motivation going on.

Give the Buffalo run a shot! Fun trail run, and they have a 25K (15ish miles) that isn't too bad! Or St George Spectrum 10K in March is always fun to go down to and get some warmth. A great, fast 10K course. I think you'll totally hit a 1000 miles this year!

I hope you're feeling better. I agree with Rad about the Buffalo Run, it is an amazing course with great views. Good luck with the 1000. You can do it!

I did the Dogtown Half in SG last year and it was fun! I've heard really good things about Spectrum too. Salt Lake Half is fun....right Rachel ??? I always run/train better when I have a goal!

Hmm..St George does sound really good. I'm freakin freezing, I totally need to head south. Thanks for the tips, I will have to do some googling.
