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.

Early run on Davis. Picked up the the last few miles for a progressive 5k in 20:04 @ 6:49 up, 6:31 rolling, 6:08 down, 5:52 flat (.10). A few short pauses at intersections, but was able to pick up speed again quickly.The faster paces felt fine, I was less energized for the "easy" miles. My stamina needs help, but I could tell my speed from the earlier weeks made the effort in the 5k much easier.

PM: 1.5 mile hike 

Hot Pink Kinvara Miles: 10.75
