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: |

| | I did my regular Monday route! I haven't for a while because of the muddy/snowy trails, but the weather has been warm and dry...so I tried it! I actually ran all the uphills and felt fairly strong doing so. I ended up going rather slowly, but it is all about how I feel! Then I hit the downhill and didn't push my pace, but enjoyed the roll! The run was over quickly and I truly enjoyed being out on the trails listening to my Marco Polo messages from Becca and Amy.

| | I had company on the run! Mandy and Chad started with me and although I wasn't able to totally keep up, I held on closely. Mandy turned at mile 3 and Kristyn caught up to us then. I was able to keep them insight for the next couple and actually got to run 1+ with Kristyn and chat. I was actually doing a decent pace AND talking. It was downhill, but still - it made me happy! I finished the route with an AP of 9:20, which for this route lately is a good pace. Someday I'll be able to break that 9mm barrier on this course again!

| | I met at Rachel's house and we did the 7 mile trail loop. It is so nice to be able to get back on the trails and have some decent warmth! There were still some big patches of snow on the trail that we had to posthole through or slip on the ice off the side of the mountain :) We met Lydia at mile 4 and ran the last few downhill miles with her and it was a wonderful time to chat with the ladies. I've been spoiled this week!

| | Regular Shaggy Mountain Thursday, but again I got company! Mandy started with me and kept my pace decent on the first uphill miles. She did say that she was good to walk some of the hills last night, so I let my brain take over and walked some of the dirt hills. But I still kept a decent pace! Chad scared the crap out of Many around mile 4.5 as he ran by and caught up. I thought I had heard his footsteps and he was on her side, so I was lucky and didn't get the poop scared out of me! It was nice to have people to chase and run with and last week I missed my sub 8mm by 1 second, so I didn't let myself slack and pushed to hit it. I got it on my last full mile: 7:49! I was so excited, it has been a long time since I've run that fast. My AP was 9:51 for the run and now I have the goal to get my total time under 1:20 - I remember when I could easily hit sub 1:10 on this route...sigh. Someday, maybe.

| | I met Kylee and Lydia to get some of this long run done, so it was nice to actually have some company.
We were meeting at 14600S and JRP (not my choice, my 20 miler in March last year my car got broken into at this trailhead!), but at 9am and I got there shortly after 8. So with Daisy stops, I did 4.25 and went back to meet them. Lydia then did 3.5 out South with Kylee and me. But we continued on to 5 miles and turned and went back. I had a great time having company and chatting on the run!
Then after dropping off Kylee and getting some fuel at the car, I went out for 6 more to complete my run. It was nice to only have to go 2.8 out! It seemed SO much less than 3 or even 5. I got it done and even got to walk some after to get to the car, so a nice cool down.
As far as I know, my car didn't get broken into this time...but I didn't have my cards or wallet in there to take, so I guess if they got in they didn't want the dog food, blankets and water :)
Went to athlecare afterward and had them release my high hammy and did the cold tubs. All in all a great long run!

| | Got up despite being up until 1:30am and did my 7 mile Monarch Meadows loop. Daisy pooped right after heading back, so I had to take a re-run to the park to throw it away, so the loop ended up being 7.5.
Adam was late getting ready to head out to Wolfpack, so we got there late, but I still got 2.5+ miles in to even out my mileage for the day.
A good run all things considered.
Then I got to officiate at Timpanogos HS for USATF - my first time! yay! Unimportant, but a fun thing.
