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.

I got my workout clothes on this morning in anticipation of running. My legs and lack of motivation discouraged the idea. I really just need to roll those puppies out.! A good run would probably really just be the best idea to get the lactic acid out. I didn't know how out of shape my legs were going in to this race. Run tomorrow.

I did run however in the parking lot to cast my vote!

Also, I won the lottery! The Ogden Marathon lottery that is:) I looked over the course and it doesn't look as fast as I hoped it would be. For those that have ran it, did you like it? I basically like being timed as I jump off a cliff.

Today I went to my last visit at the running clinic. I finally graduated with decent running form. I still need to work on my core though. Time to focus on core and weights this winter before Ogden marathon. I think 2013 is my year for PR's!

PM: 60 minutes of tennis tonight. Tonight was the last match of the season. Somehow, the wind work in my favor and I won all but 1 game. Whenever I would hit a ball way off, The wind would adjust for me and make it in.The real reason is because I played against all of the other loosers of the tournament so it would be more of an even playing field. A great ab workout tonight. We laughed at ourselves the entire time as balls through over the court, into bathrooms, and hit cars. We were basically experts, experts at tennis mayhem. Also, I left with a wound to the face after a leaf came blowing at my face at 120 miles per hour. It either cut my face or popped a zit, I don't know. Case in point, it was blowing game!

Same workout as yesterday with all the abdomen and leg exercises. The exercises are pretty tough when I'm doing them but then the rest the day I am not sore. So either I'm not doing them right or I'm just a big wimp. No comments on this one, please :-) I took the week off of running So that I can give my stiff toe some time to cool off. I need to stop racing in my Kinvaras, I think they have passed their time. RIP.
