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.

It was a struggle for a bit - with athsma, then dogs chasing/scratching me, and just plain tired. However, I stayed the course and kept a nice even 9:05 AP -- just shy of two weeks until Happy Girls Run up in Spokane!

Course changed from two years ago to add three more miles of trail running - that became a bit technical. Many up's and down's - my legs felt trashed by the time I reached pavement at mile 10.20 - I did indeed walk the last three hills in those three miles. Hardest run I have done to date, but feeling so acomplished! Trail Running is not for the faint at heart. There were 260 participants, so I am happy to have placed 61st without training on trails. Twice this summer while camping apparently wasn't enough :)

Went for a shake out run this monring - it was chilly (hat, gloves, leggins, long sleeve) I love this weather - fall is my fav season for sure. Things were feeling tight, quads still sore. Feeling both i-t bands a bit so I kept it short - just wanted to get out there

Finally getting my legs under me! 8:49 AP - I call my morning runs now the sprinkler dash around the river! Soon water will be off and fall leaves will crunch under foot ... I love fall!
