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 in the Tetons up by Jackson Hole! So beautiful. First four out were tough, but then my pace gradually increased finishing my last mile at a 7:45 - quite a spread - with over all pace 8:45 (weird run....)

I wore my new Saucony Ride (green) today - last time I wore them I had to take 4/5 days off for shin issues. Today, felt my upper shin on left leg pretty bad. not sure if ti is the shoes, but will not want to run my marathon in them...possibly some shorter runs with them. So I warmed up for a mile, then ran tempo for 10 miles @ 8:43 pace. Was spot on for most of the run (one mile I slacked off, but then made up for it the next and then kept at an even 8:43... feeling pretty weird. Back issues (into my right glute) shin, it-band and going a bit mental. like I'm not ready for 26.2 - Rex is helpful in adjusting my attitude, for that, I am grateful!
