Best 5K: Spanish Fork 21:55 05/30/09 Short-Term Running Goals: Okay, so for 2013 I am going to have FUN! Not that running isn't always fun, but I had a wonderful breakthrough year last year and I want to play this year :) AND get faster! So, my first goal I'm going to put out there is my yearly mileage goal.
It is 2,186 miles from my driveway to my sister (QP's) driveway! I want to spend this year on a virtual trek cross country running those miles. So, that is how far I will run in 2013...from my house to QPs. It will take all year and yes, this is measured on Hwys so it isn't really exactly how I COULD run it, but good enough. 43 miles/week...totally doable, and a fun goal to track how far I've traveled as I go along. Who knows...maybe I'll even run PAST her house :)
I will do more trail runs, Boston, Pacing duties, another Half IM and some other tris. I'm excited for this next year and look forward to having fun with all of you out on the roads, and trails! Maybe bag a few peaks this year too!! Long-Term Running Goals: 
Big Dreams: 5K in 20:2X; 10K in 39:XX; Half in 1:29:XX; Full in 3:15:XX; complete the Rim2Rim2Rim run and not die; Comrades; Iron(wo)Man.
Run for the rest of my life! Personal: 4 children: twelve, eight, five and baby Fartlek - 2 1/2. Wonderful supportive husband that lets me drag him and the family all over for race after race!
Finished 13 marathons and LOVE running that distance! I'm definitely hooked to the marathon monster and hope to constantly improve my endurance, speed and stay injury free!
I've also found a love of trail running! I hope to keep improving on this front.
After being injured with a broken foot at the first of 2012 I found a tri group and started training with them and am now loving tris! The half IM was harder than I'd ever imagined...and am ready to do it again. I'll earn my bike butt and someday have enough time to train for a full IM. Favorite Blogs: |

| | So, I walked slowly on the treadmill while I waited for spin class, then I did an hour of spin class. It wasn't at the exertion level I normally would, but just moving the legs was good! The teacher did a fun workout...BYU track workout from last week because her son runs with BYU. 1 mile, 800, 1 mile, 800, 400, 400, 1 mile. She changed them all to times we would push pace/hills but it was fun to do. I could actually walk down the stairs afterward...with only a little hanging on! :)

| | I had a work drive to Vernal to prep for DINO so I didn't do anything, but getting in and out of the car SO many times over and over again did some healing for sure!

| | Well, I did it! I actually got out and ran. It was cold and raining, but I'd told the group I would meet them at the high country gates and run the last couple of Shaggy Mountain with them. I felt like I could actually run and when I looked at my times it was slower than I thought, but dang it...I got it done! I can run again.

| | Well, I was going to meet Rachel Small and run with her, but it snowed and we didn't want to deal with slipping. So I took Adam to school, came home and had a little nap before I headed off. Gave the snow enough time to stop and the roads/sidewalks to melt. I did my 'long' run for the week since I'm going to meet Rachel tomorrow and do the 6 mile loop. I actually felt like I could move my legs and like I was working...and I was! I did an AP of 9:44 which for me lately is amazing. I just did the Monarch Meadows loop from the house and even got to see a couple friends along the way. Daisy was feeling better and ran wonderfully with me as well!

| | Well, I met Rachel Small and we did my Porter Rockwell loop to Draper canal trail and back from Wheadon Farms. It was a lovely day...a little chilly, but warm enough I had to take my 2nd long sleeve and gloves off after a couple miles. It was a wonderful run and I felt almost strong again... at least like I could move my feet! 5.67 miles AP=9:41
Then it was time for Wolfpack pre-season practice. I got a Roxberry and then met at the Draper Park. Daisy was barking too much so for drills I put her in the car, then we did our 20 minute run. I prefer to be in the back of the pack on the way there, then let all the kids pass me and I stay at the back again. That way I know I have all the kids! So I ended up running 2.33 miles and I honestly pushed myself on the way back as I was chasing the fast kids and my legs were done! It is interesting to feel that top out pace that I used to feel at 7mm...but I was still out there doing the work! 2.33 miles AP=9:25 (8:58 was my 'fast' mile!)
Then I went to athlecare and recovered a bit before going to uniform fitting for Wolfpack...a full day for sure!
