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.
Ran outside - about 12 degrees with the sun shinning. Rex and I went out on Sunnyside while the girls played Pig Out with dad & mom. All was great, except really felt my knee...under/wrap around the outside for the last two miles. Think I just need to really ease back into my miles is all
Took five days off from running - due to knee & then pure exhaustion from fighting a cold. Feeling great on TM - nice even 8:40 pace and then a YOGA class @ Apple. Ready to go take girls for ear piercing!
