Running Accomplishments:

I began running for my first time about 3 years ago. I remember calling everyone I knew the first time a ran 2 miles w/out stopping. I ran Mesa Falls half marathon @ 2:21 in fall 2009. I ran Salt Lake half marathon spring 2010 @ 1:54. Then I ran Missoula, MT full marathon summer 2010 @ 4:25. I was injured (IT Band) for Portland marathon (fall 2010) but went and picked up my packet anyway. Ran Ogden 4:26....

Short-Term Running Goals:

Over the next two years, I would like to improve my strenghth and speed.

Long-Term Running Goals:

I WILL qualify and run Boston before I turn 40. I just turned 36 this year ~ 

Personal:

In May, 2013, I will have been married to my love, Rex, for 16years. And it just keeps getting better and better! Two beautiful daughters. Emma (8) and Ali (5). This is my ninth year teaching and I love that I get paid to do it! Running gives me energy, sanity and is simple joy for me.

I ran @ 9 a.m. @ the gym w/Alana, Curt and his running buddies. This is my first time to record any run, so I'm excited to use this new tool for the new year! I hadn't run 10 miles since September due to my IT-Ban giving me grief. I was nervous and it was hard at mile 8, but it was nice to have encouragement from friends out doing the same thing, each at our own level. My average speed was about 6.7 (no lower than 6.5 or higher than 7.0). I also learned (thanks Jeff) that I should have my incline on a treadmill no lower than 1.5. So I played with that today as well.

Over all, I will sleep well tonight!
