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.

Rex and I set out to run the south hills (Twin Falls) after being camp counselor for a week and running in Sun Valley - man was I tired, under fueled and simply run down. However, it was good to push not just physically, but mentally as well! Overall pace ended up being 8:55 - feeling good

Not expecting my knees/ legs to act up...@ mile 5 today...stopped numerous times to try and stretch them out. To no relief. Tried to run and push through the pain, but it became too much. I could not walk after one of the last ditch effort to stretch it out. Pain shooting up my right leg through itband. A man and his son came and picked me up. I feel like I have rehased this into memory, so no more for here. I have a massage a

Pointment for Monday night. I know to strenghthn my glutes. Let the real work and healing begin. I give praise for God watching over me and for Rex running a great first marathon!!
