Long-Term Running Goals:

I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.

Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:)

I am a Mormon

 

I am married to a supportive and driven husband. Together we enjoy geocaching, hiking, camping, reading and playing games with our three rambunctious children.

Aside from running, I am a homemaker and a Mental Health Therapist. Running has given me the ability to better concert my energies between my family, faith and friends.

Put in some pace miles to get my legs moving. Feeling fine.

For some reason everyone backing out of Striders has played with me. Clearly everyone has a reason not to do it and I don't. Ha ha makes me laugh. I always want to be where the fun is. I so wish I had a reason to do something else:) I will run it and be glad I did. The crazy snow didn't help either but looks like the weather will be fine, just cold.

Well, I took Jake K and Christi's advice and emailed the race director for UVM to see if they have a spot open for me.  After answering a couple running related questions, he gave me a complementary spot in the race! I'm in!

Go up and run fast! It will be cold... BUT it looks like an E/SE wind in the morning (tailwind!).

Those of us running Boston are actually being smart about not going :-)

Glad you got into UVM. Its an awesome race and Hyrum is so great about supporting the fast local runners. In fact he called me last night and tried to convince me to run as well. You'll be breaking into the 2:50s there, right?! :-)

Good luck tomorrow. That is a good course, and it is always cold by the way.

Glad you are running UVU...I mean UVM.:)
