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.
Had Rex & girls dropped me off at gym....for me to gain energy from those around me - it worked.
Must say I was sore (good) from yoga yesterday...mainly my hip flexors. What a great run - really feeling like I'm getting my groove back. Average pace was @ 8:42
ran a quick 3 on TM then hit the YOGA strength class @ the gym - what a great workout combination :) so happy that Curt & Alana came over for dinner to chat about running - I'm all excited once more, for my love of running and looking forward to new goals and new races this year
Ran @ gym on TM in 25 minutes. Just set the speed @ 7.0 then bumped up too 7.2 @ one mile.(incline only at 1) nice and steady run before a REALLY hard yoga strength class by Tami. lots of core work out and arms today...limbs feel like wet noodles :) then rex had made home made veggie noodle soup for dinner ~ perfect!
