| Location: Bountiful,ut, Member Since: Feb 19, 2009 Gender: Female Goal Type: Half Marathon Finish Running Accomplishments: Started running Jan. 26, 2009. I've ran 6 days a week since and have only missed 2 days. I no longer hate to run.
May 9, 2009 ran I-Drive 5K in Orlando FL in 29:58
Short-Term Running Goals: Run a 5K in 30 minutes.
I have just decided to train for a half marathon. - July 11 Farmington Festival Days 1/2 Marathon
Long-Term Running Goals: Continue to run even after my races and be an old running woman. After my half I just may decide on a full marathon but right now just the thought of the half is daunting.
Personal: I am married to Matt (Twinkies) who loves to run. I have been the supportive wife watching him run his races and calling him crazy. We have 4 kids. Our oldest is 7 and our youngest is 1 1/2. I homeschool our two oldest boys. I have decided that I really want to lose my extra fat and get back into shape. I have always hated to run but I think I am finally past that. I hope to someday actually say that I love to run. I would be proud to call myself a runner. Most of my runs are on the treadmill because I'm unable to leave the kids home alone while I go out for a jog. Favorite Blogs: |

| | I just haven't been feeling quit right today. My ears are ringing and feel plugged and I'm dizzy. I put off running until about 4 and decided if I didn't do it soon I wasn't going to get it done because I am only feeling worse, not better. Did my 4 mile run at 5mph and my .5 mile walk. Didn't seem too bad while running, or at least I didn't notice my ears as much. Hope this goes away soon. | |

| | I was supposed to do a 2 mile run today but Matt forgot to take the videos back to the video store so I walked there with the kids and let them pick out a wii game to play. We then walked to the grocery store and I got them ice cream sandwiches and got myself an apple. We ate those at the store and the kids wanted more treats so I bought grapes, string cheese and some cumquats to eat on the way home. It was our first time trying cumquats, they were sour at first but got sweeter and were actually pretty good. We got a lot of sun and it wore me out way more than just a normal run would have.

| | I must have some sort of bug. My stomach has been cramping today. I tried to do the whole 4 mile run but had to walk part of it and stop a few times to go to the bathroom. I did get my whole goal distance done even though it wasn't all at a running pace. I hope I feel better by Sat so I can do my long run. | |

| | Ok, so I did my long run today. The longest that I've ever run yet and it had to be on the boring treadmill. I listened to a book on tape and ignored my kids' yelling and crying. I've been moody today anyways so I really needed to just think about myself and running. I really wish I could've gone outside and just got away from it all. Oh well. The story was good and I just tried to get lost in it but I was actually getting pretty tired pretty fast. I felt like I had to push myself, I mean really push myself just to get to 4.5 miles. It took a lot just to pick up my feet and put one in front of the other but I kept going. Then at 5.25 my cd ended and of course I couldn't stop to get the next one or I know I would never start again. I feel good now that I'm done but especially during that last .75 miles I was really thinking "I am not a runner." Maybe next time I won't be so cranky to start with and it will go better. | |
