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.

Ran outside @ 12:00 today. 32 degrees with 15-20 mile hour winds. Ran from my house, looped freeman park. not too bad then on west side of the river...not too bad. SRL was a brutal stretch into strong head wind and pelting snow! I was able to make it around the bend then east on Sunny Side to my folks place. WHEW ~ 8:33 pace!!!!!!!!!! YIEPPPEEEE I told Alana that one must run fast to get the heck out of those conditions :) Feel great! Worship time was sooo good today as well!!

Ran @ gym. first 4 1/2 @ a 9min. pace ~ bumped it up b/c I was sooo HOT, but then got wiggy hot and had to bump back down for half mile then finished the last mile strong and fast. I wore a tech tee that drapes and it was just too hot. I needed a tank. At one point I contemplated stripping but then thought those around me would frown :) Good to run beside Marlin and his beautiful Wife - Mauri (body felt great other than too warm)

fast at the gym after school so I could go lay in a bed to soak some vitamin D (that's what I tell myself so I feel better about tanning).

Quick warm up for quarter mile then incline to 6% ran @ 9 min pace for quarter mile then 0% for a quarter. I repeated the pattern then at a 9 1/2 min pace so total of 4 hills and nice mile run at end. The hill work out was hard, but I loved it...in a crazy runner's way of loving it!
