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.

At the track w/Jeremy Smith. We jogged a nice easy 5 laps (mile 1/4) then ran a fast 800 in 3:30 then a nice jog for a lap then repeat another 800 in 3:30. I completed 6 - 800's and ended with a nice 5 laps around the track for a cool down and stretch. I plan to add an 800 each week working up to 10 or 12...we'll see :)

first half was great - then I was struggling...gelled w/only 2miles left and then I felt more nausious. Finished slow, but held an average pace of 8:45 - I'll take it! Ran w/Alana & finished with hot coffee @ her house (I love that) THANKS Curt & Alana; for fueling me in many ways
