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.
Drove over to run Sunnyside with Alana - so good to catch up and run with her. I felt I was not hydrated at all - struggled on this run, but we still kept it under 9 for the average pace (8:5 ish )
Ran up blackhawk with Alana - dropped her at the church, I drove up a mile to run up three to the top and back down - I.LOVE.THIS.RUN. We will be doing this again ~~
Whew---glad Rex was with me. Struggled at the end of the run. Last two miles I had to stop and stretch out my right leg - i-t band issue?? not sure where that came from - possibly my hill run on Thursday - gets me every time. Over all happy girl to be running
