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 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.

Mid-day run today. I can't remember the last time I ran in the middle of the day but I felt great. I had to push my son in the stroller so I was definitely pushing harder. Garmin died in themiddle. I wasn't planning a tempo but since the weather was nice and I had a bit of a challenge to make it home before the kids got out of school, I went with it. 1 mile warm up follwed by a progressive run. Had to go by feel for this but effort was around 7:00 AP but with stops, hills and stroller was probably in reality 7:30 AP. One cross guard yelled at me for walking with her across the street. Apparently I was supposed to wait till she was in the middle of the street stopping all traffic before I proceeded. I have a lot to learn. Next time Ill just go on the other side of the street and dodge traffic while laughing like usually do. That might be frowned on with a baby in stroller. So I kindly thanked her for the reminder and pressed on. Last two miles were around 6:20 AP effort. Just beforegetting home I saw an injured dog in a gutter which tried to walk but clearly had a broken hip/ hind legs. Pulled out phone and called animal control. They acted like I was over reacting. Huh. Good run overall.

Tara, it was probably you that ran him over with that stoller and your crazy driving.
