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.

6  easy miles with the ladies group by the temple. I made an agreement with one of the girls that we would stay off sugar together. I failed later in the day. Hopefully she's having more success.

8 miles down Main this morning. After 4 miles, turned around and did 3min at half marathon pace with 3 mins rest till I got home. It ended up being 5x750m with 3 min rest. The hills made it interesting and challenged the pace. Good workout.

TM running today at the gym. I wanted to get some downhill miles. Workout consisted of 1  mile warm up then put TM on decline at 3% and ran a 10k.

Splits were 6:22, 6:18, 6:18, 6:18, 6:11, 5:40 and 5:11 for .2. First 5k was in 19:38, second 5k in 18:41 with total time of 38:19. I resisted the urge to go faster but allowed that in the last 1.5 miles. Felt good and comfortable- the decline was nice. 1 mile cool down and stretching. I think I'll get some plank action in tonight during commercials of American Idol.

Note to self, running in the dark feels like you are running in place, the first half of my splits indicate that as well:) I got up extra early today to fit in a longer run. Although I had a head lamp and LCD shoe lights, I felt like I was running in place inside a black hole. My eyes never adjusted until the sun began to rise. Loped around the first 7 miles around 8:24 pace. Took a GU and pushed the pace the last 10k in around 43 mins. Felt very relaxed. Splits were nothing special but had some effort behind them. The first mile was a climb and the rest were rolling...8:12, 7:16, 7:35, 7:03, 7:08, 7:08. Knees are sore.
