Personal:

I am married to Nathan Long and have two cute boys. I enjoy being a mom but running keeps me sane.=) Running is my passion and always will be. I was asked by a friend what I was training for and I said to be skinny. She looked at me (as we just finished 3 hard one mile repeats after I just got done having two crowns put in) and said, "No one trains that hard to be skinny." I said, "I do." To me working out is fun! I love pushing my body to new limits. I think if I had to do just mileage I would go crazy!

11 miles. 6 miles on treadmill and 5 miles outside. Feel a lot better! I was planning on running short but my body was so happy outside I ran longer thanks to Katie for switching halfway with me.

I watched a flo track video on Cain and Hasay. They ran a mile race indoor and proceeded to do this workout. So I decided looks like fun why not. =) I think I will try it again in a month to see my improvement. Hopefully beus pond will be open by then.

1 mile rest-decent pace

A little disappointed in the tempo, but was excited to see my finishing speed on the road having to look at my watch to see where to finish.

Ran 8 miles easy with Amy this morning at 5am. It was really nice out. I always enjoy these early run with Amy. Ran 5 more miles in the afternoon during naptime on TM with 1%.

Awesome workout by Amy Cook. I am not quite sure what my 5k pace is but I went with 5:30 pace. 2.5 warm up and cool down. Did the workout at Weber State's indoor track.

It was really nice to have marks to go off of instead of using the garmin. Really even pacing as well. Felt pretty good until halfway through the third set then I was breathing pretty hard. I decided to do 5k effort mile effort mile effort and 10k effort. This was a hard one to do alone but glad I did all four sets.
