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....

Over the next two years, I would like to improve my strenghth and speed.

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.

The good and bad about working on speed...yesterday was speed, 10 mile bike ride on Sandra's road bike and a 30 minute deep yoga stretch routein. This morning I was suposed to go out and do a warm up mile, 5 mile tempo at an 8:43 pace and a cool down mile. Here's how it breaks down: mile 1 - 8:43 for the warm up, mile 2 - 8:16, mile 3 - 8:21, mile 4 - 8:27, mile 5 - 8:31, mile 6 - 8:34 and mile 7 was a nice slow 9:29 pace. I stopped multiple times bewtween miles to gather myself. This was a tough run mentally, I felt all over the place. I think tomorrow's run in Twin Falls will be nice and easy before we head up to Sun Valley for the day of bike riding. Love Summer Time!
