Personal:

I have loved to run since I was a little girl when I won my first race against a neighbor boy in his backyard. I have run recreationally ever since, but never really setting any goals other than distance or to participate in a race for the fun of it. So this is all new territory for me and I'm feeling very out of my league. At the suggestion of a friend, here I am... trying to get to the next step in my running. Besides being a runner, I own an IT Staffing company, am a yoga instructor and snowboarder. I have a wonderful husband and beautiful baby girl.

AM: Provo Canyon - got a late start this morning. It was a beautiful run thru a canopy of trees and fall colors erupting all over the mountains.

Despite having run this same distance faster than 2 wks ago, my legs were heavy and tired. It took 7 miles just to get into the groove, then the last 5 were awful with a bad headache coming on.
