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: |

| | Adam didn't have school today so I got to sleep in and then go on a run with my boy! It started out slow and he was saying he should name the run "hard run for mom, easy run for me" - I told him to just call it "Easy run with mom" then it would cover all the bases. We did the SMH loop with the long way back. I tricked him into doing the long way home by telling him I wanted more downhill miles :) It was fun to have him with me and by the time we got back home he said he would name the run "death run" hahaha, poor kid. I can still out pace him in distance. Not for long, but I'll take what I can.
AP: 9:21

| | I did the Tuesday ten loop from my house. I was supposed to have company, but by late evening Monday everyone had cancelled. So, I did the loop from my house with just Daisy. I was impressed that without feeling like I was trying I hit a 9:42AP. Nothing incredible, but good enough for me.
I then went to Tae Kwon Do class with Rachel Martinez and the 20 minutes I was waiting for them a full inch of snow accumulated on my car and the road. It was crazy! The weather was fairly decent while I was on my run, but I was doubly happy that I got up early and got it done after seeing what the storm REALLY brought.

| | Kylee Brough had contacted me last week and we set up this day to run together! It was fun to see her after a few years. We chatted along and I was thinking we would do 4-6 miles, but we got carried away and before we knew it we were at 4 miles and we decided to turn around. Then we ran into Kandi on the JRP as we went back home. It was a wonderful morning and I was impressed with my AP of 9:33 and I was chatting the whole time!

| | I woke up to a message in the group that Kristyn was sleeping in and I was going to be solo on Shaggy Mountain. I was grumpy about it, but got up and did the full loop anyway. It was slow, but I just plugged along and had a good run. I'm kind of sore from Tae Kwon Do on Tuesday - so I got out and got it done! Sometimes that is all it takes.
I did go to Tae Kwon Do again with Rachel and Alex again - it really is good cross training! I just don't want to pay for it.

| | This run started out slow. I didn't want to do it. I wanted to go home and take a nap! So I just decided to start and go from there. One mile at a time. I started at Wheadon Farms and the weather was actually nearly perfect. 40ish degrees, just gloves and ear coverings and a long sleeve shirt. Little to no wind, which going around the point of the mountain is a HUGE win! I went 6 miles and got to Cabelas in Utah County. It was kind of fun and I want to explore even further than that some time! I then went back, but stopped at Maverik for GU, water and a treat for Daisy. Then I did my 6 mile loop from Wheadon Farms, but didn't go back to the car because of the side-trip to Maverik. It ended up as a great run and I felt strong when I was done and had reduced my AP from 10:05 at mile 11 to 9:55 at the end. So I had a nice fast finish.

| | I did my Monarch Meadows 7 mile loop in the morning, after a nice rain storm, and it was again great weather. A little cold, but once you started running it was great. I couldn't believe the families out with little 8-10 year old kids playing soccer at the parks I ran by. I took the long way home and finished with 7.38 miles.
Then it was time for Wolfpack. I dropped off Adam for his HS practice at Riverton track, then went to Draper Park. I ran 2.77 miles with Wolfpack and actually ended with an 8:20 mile for an AP of 9:11! I was warmed up and cruising. It was hard, but I don't want to admit that! I actually passed a couple kids on the way back and that was worth it :)
