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.

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.

went to Skyline track with Rex this morning for my first day of speed training! Warmed up for a mile then ran 12 400's with 400 recovery jog inbetween. I only clocked my speed 400's and the 12 of them averaged 7:37 pace. Feel pretty good - nice stretching afterwards, could have cooled down for a mile or two, but was ready to get going on my day!

Warmed up a mile - then tempo for 3 miles at 8:25 pace then walked for half a miles (bad chest cold) then ran last three quarters mile in. Really stinks being sick in summer - hope I'm good to go on Saturday for the bone relay!

Got up early to run 1.34 mile shake out to see how my lungs were doing. I have been sick the second half of this week and was worried that I wouldn't be able to run today. 

Ran leg 8 of Bone 2 Back relay it was 95 degrees when Rex passed off to me - the first 2.5 down the hill was great and beautiful with a breeze. THEN in town, no breeze, the hit was coming off the road in waves and I had to do a jog/walk for a bit combo to finish out. Sandra Dunn's husband, Denis, stopped to soak my head and shirt with cold water, that seemed to revive me a little - but I still \took it easy! So proud of our Compass Academy team. I truly love each one of them and all we have been through in the past three years. I'm excited for my new adventure next year, but will miss my beloved peeps for sure!
