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 after church today when it had warmed up a bit - but the wind helped cool me down. Traveling all night long, I didn't run yesterday - so much walking in the city the day before then all the travel - whew! Shin felt fine today as I ran a nice and easy pace of 8:54
ran uplugged this morning - so nice. Breezy, cloudy and now raining! Great day to nest and deep clean inside the house! I decided not to run TOU for now. I will just keep to the Pocatello half that I have scheduled and save money and time at my new job!
1.75 run to the track quarter to warm up faster 6- 800's at a 7:28 pace . With 400's recovery in between then another quarter cool & run home - feeling the outside of my knee on ththe way home 😒 so hopefully just some good yoga later to stretch out my legs
Early morning run with Alana! So good to lift each other up ~ looking forward to fall runs together again! Was going to run 10, but think I will save that for tomorrow - really trying to listen to my body and not flair up my shin!
