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 after school today in the wind - have been sick with sinus issues for about a week now & finally feeling better with some energy back! After months of slower running (like between 9:10-9:20 average paces) I was able to have a quicker turn over & ended up with an AP of 8:34, even finishing strong running upnGrandview :) good for my mental to have a negative split today big time!

So my training was not the best? My i-t band was still bothering me, but I went for it anyway - why not? I loved starting out the race with Rex, my love. First five miles flew by, utnil about 5.75 ish my leg was flaring up. I could stop and stretch it out, run a mile, then really started bothering me about mile seven where from then on, I was stopping every quarter of a mile to stretch, do down dog, all sorts of stretching so I could hobble along. Sad I know, but I refused to drop. Crazy thing is that I was back there with people that run an 11 or 12 minute mile. Humble possition to be in b/c my entire being was ready to fly at the run. Take away: strengthen and run more.
