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.

Ran outside @ 8:00 with Alana, Gama, Shelley & Mandy. What a great time. Some did 6, some 8 and Shelley 10. Loving our Sunday group runs - pain free run, has felt great all day. Will still ice tonight, as always, but looking forward to five or six days of running this week. Think the miles will be kept around 3, 4 & a 5 for mid week...then we will see how far next Sunday. Possibly just add a mile (7)...really want to play it safe ~

Ran Freeman Park from house. 8:50 pace - got back for a busy day! Body felt great - working on regulating my fuel before I head out on runs. Not sure why I can't get this balanced. Beautiful 34 degrees!

ran 4 X 800's today on TM...the first two at 8.0MPH and the last two at 8.2 MPH...not sure what pace that is, but was good for me. I think I can go faster, but wasn't sure for the first time!

Ran outside @ 12:00 today. 32 degrees with 15-20 mile hour winds. Ran from my house, looped freeman park. not too bad then on west side of the river...not too bad. SRL was a brutal stretch into strong head wind and pelting snow! I was able to make it around the bend then east on Sunny Side to my folks place. WHEW ~ 8:33 pace!!!!!!!!!! YIEPPPEEEE I told Alana that one must run fast to get the heck out of those conditions :) Feel great! Worship time was sooo good today as well!!

Ran @ gym. first 4 1/2 @ a 9min. pace ~ bumped it up b/c I was sooo HOT, but then got wiggy hot and had to bump back down for half mile then finished the last mile strong and fast. I wore a tech tee that drapes and it was just too hot. I needed a tank. At one point I contemplated stripping but then thought those around me would frown :) Good to run beside Marlin and his beautiful Wife - Mauri (body felt great other than too warm)

fast at the gym after school so I could go lay in a bed to soak some vitamin D (that's what I tell myself so I feel better about tanning).
