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: |

| | Well I took a nap before starting this one today and I was glad I did! It was actually sunny and warm. Just a long sleeve shirt! I did my SMH run with the long way home to make it 6 instead of 4. It has a lot of uphill so I didn't expect to get a decent pace...but I actually ran almost well. I'm sure my luck will run out tomorrow, but I'm happy I'm actually running sub 10mm AP this week instead of my normal slog.
AP=9:27; 9:54, 10:14, 8:39, 8:26, 9:41, 9:48

| | Tuesday TEN! Chad and Kristyn said they were going to join so I got to start at Chad's house. Kristyn was late, I'm slow and I have Daisy poop stops the first mile, so I left early. But she caught me at mile 3 while I was waiting for the stop light. Chad decided to sleep in and skip the run.
Kristyn and I had a great run and she pushed me well! As usual, my starting and uphill miles were slow, but I got my feet under me and hit some decent miles. Sad that over a 1:35 total time for this run is fast now...I used to run it slow under 1:30! Sigh... But, I'm out there getting it done.
Then I took Adam to school and went straight to the gym. Walked a couple miles on the treadmill and then did my lift class. It was harder for me than it usually is! She had some crazy moves I wasn't used to.
AP: 9:32 - 10:32; 9:51; 10:39; 10:53; 9:12, 9:28; 8:44; 8:27; 8:59; 9:09; 8:46

| | Easy recovery day. I didn't realize how sore my legs were from lift class yesterday; but at 1/4 mile in on the TM I felt like I had to stop...so I took a quick 5 second break and then did it again at a mile. It took me until 1.5ish miles to finally feel like I COULD run! I ended up doing two 1/4 mile pushes and then one 1/2 mile push with same recovery. Ended up my AP at just under 9:40 - can't complain too much.
Then I did my spin/lift combo class. It is always good and has some fun people in it too! Lots of core and my triceps were shaking, so I guess it worked well.

| | Shaggy Mountain! I got to run with Kristyn and Chad. I left early and they both caught up to me, Kristyn at the gate and Chad at the top of mother hill. I actually ran fairly fast for Shaggy Mountain, so I was excited that I did well on my anniversary run :) 26 years with my husband...I'm not even that old, so how can I have been married that long??
Went to watch Craig rock climb later in the morning and we went to lunch at CHOM before picking up Adam and heading home and feeding boys frozen pizza. A HUGE celebration! hahahaha

| | It didn't feel like I was going as fast as my AP said...I truly thought my pace would be over a 10mm. But, I had an AP of 9:41! I just did my route on the trail to 6400, then to the trail behind Amy's house, to the lake, around the lake (pit stop at Harmons) then the same way home. But, I wanted water on the way home so I went up 5600 W to the 7-11 instead of staying on the trail and then took Herriman Main past the cemetary to 6400 and back home through Hamilton park. A perfect 16 mile loop! I may have to use this one over and over. I really enjoyed it and it is uphill home, but it is as flat as miles come out here and I get to use Harmon's for my pit stop. Plus I can buy Daisy a treat...AND she pulls me toward the ducks all around Daybreak Lake, so my pace is faster! hahaha

| | Angela met me at my house and we ran up the canyon to the yellow fork parking lot where her running group friends were meeting and then back down. She worked hard on the uphill, because she doesn't run uphill regularly. So she did have some walk breaks, but she really did a great job! We saw her group at the top and then they took off for their 18 mile run and we took off to go back to my house.. I loved the downhill roll, as usual. But earning that downhill is always sweeter.
Then it was time to head off to Wolfpack preseason training.
I always like to be the back of the pack...so they start and with Adam coaching he could be with the lead group. We go out for 12 minutes then turn and go back. I wait for the lead group to pass me on their way back so I'm again the last one in. I got back to the park at 2.8 so I took a little extra loop to round out to 3. I'm still slow compared to the kids, but my legs could handle a little more speed this week than last week and I ended up with my AP at 9:33 with hanging with the slowest kid on the way out.
It was a great finish to a great week!
