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.
outside in the sunshine today! enjoyed the company of Alana, Shelley & Alisa. Was tired from yesterday's longer run - but felt good! Nice easy 9:22 pace ~
Tempo run: 7 1/2 min @ 9 pace then 20 min @ 8 pace then back to 9 pace for remaining 7 1/2 min. Total time of 35 min average pace 8:22 ~ Felt amazing! What a fun way to break it up too :)
Outside with Alana this morning ~ beautiful. Chatted the entire time with an 8:33 pace - feeling great that Alana taught YOGA right after - and the sun is shinning!
