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.

Began @ warm 65 degrees. Wore new Saucony outfit...loved the light weightness of the entire ensemble. Ran with Alisa & Alana - and kept a nice overall pace of 9:02 (3 hours and 1 minute on the dot). Felt all sorts of aches and pains (left outside knee tight, hip flexors tight) but all worked themselves out and I feel GREAT! I did take an ice bath - that helps me a ton.

So I went out to do the 'shake out' run from long one yesterday and felt my hamstring pull really tight, almost like it could hurt. At this point in the game - I think rest is best...

Left the house @ 85 degrees - @ 7:00 p.m. looped Freeman twice and then river & Grandview hill a few times up and down. Happy with my pace of 8:39 - now I will run first thing in the morning and again in the evening to mimic back to back running in preparation for next weekend GTR!!
