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.

First leg in Grand Teton Relay!! It was 97 degrees, dusty, sandy, rocky dirt road. Tough to run fast - belly was still ill from the week. 9:47 pace and it was HARD :)

Second leg of GTR ~ 2:30 a.m. It was so dark, gravel road for half then trail for the second half. Happy to follow another gal running in the dark. We wore reflective vests, blinking lights and head lamps. Greg & Rex were 10-2a.m. volunteers so that was GREAT to see them! 8:47 pace (which was crazy b/c when a truck passed me - there was no way to see through the dust!)

 

Third leg of GTR ~ 11:19 a.m.  Getting warm again and started the run up the Jackson Hole pass. Traffic was intense, trees were amazing and the Tetons were spectacular. Our host families were amazing to shower, feed and rest our weary bodies. My team was a blessing how well everyone got along and how much crazy, crazyness fun we had. YES I would do this again in a heartbeat!
