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.

 12 mi simulator run today. I drove down to LPT this morning and began after a 2mi wu. The pace was supposed to be marathon pace. I decided to go by feel and not watch my pace.  I ended up averaging 6:55 overall (aimed for 6:55-7:00). I took a quick GU somewhere in the middle and resisted the urge to stop and stretch, but instead hurried on to quickly get back on pace. Felt good, but it was boring to slowly suffer by myself. I feel good about this one today!

Sometimes in my heart, I wish you weren't faster than me.
