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.

5.5 super fun treadmill miles.  And it was so nice outside today too.  If I just had a babysitter today at 2 or 3 it would have been so nice to go out in that sunshine.  Us mom's really have it hard sometimes.  AP 8:56

ugghhh...I hear ya! :) It is nice sometimes just to be able to run, but dang how nice would it be to get OUT and run without a jogging stroller! It is nice to have another Rachel around. You should join us in some of our UT county group runs that we do occasionally! We'd love to have you! I think we're getting together in Lehi on Black Friday if you're up for it!

A group run sounds fun, if I could keep up with you speedy ladies. When are you guys going, early in the morning? I'm hitting the stores pretty hard Thursday night for all the Black Friday sales. I like your name, Rachel's are awesome.
