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.

first run after being ill w/cold then sinus infection for over a week! Alana and I ran the cemetary up three and down three (end of Sunnyside). My i-t band began to pull and hurt the last mile...then it was fine after stretching.

Let's see...went out early it was cold and a little windy. With Alana and I ran the first 5 w/out feeling my knee...then it hurt until mile seven when we stopped, stretched and took a gel. It was good for another mile then hurt. I ran in pain from mile 10-11 and had to stop at mile 11 and walk back to car (another mile) where I hurt. Not sure what the game plan is now....ice, cross train and try to rest the i-t band...I know that is what it is...grrrrrr....

WOW! Last long run and now into tapper. Ran with Shelley and Alisa this morning. My i-t band was naughty the last for and a half miles, but I stopped to stretch a lot and work it out. I feel great (properly hydrating helps I think!) Hard to say on time. I would stop my watch when I stretched... Shelley did not and she had four hours almost on the nose....that is with potty breaks etc. :)
