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.

Fun race at Sugarhouse park. It was about as hilly as I expected, but the wind didn't help. Sure was nice at the back, though. I tasted blood at the end, so I guess that means it was a good effort. Ran about what I predicted for today. Garmin showed 3.02mi course.

A fellow USU allumni took first for men- I missed his name. I never knew him beacuse he's 7 years my junior. Where's my cane.

I saw your prize - those are big skis! :-)

Nice job. Racing in SHP is tough.

Hi Jake! Yes,176cm is a little big for me. They were nice enough to give us a gift receipt of sorts, to exchange:)

Congratulations on the win Tara. SHP + wind sounds kind of brutal!

Wow, Tara. Look at all these elite runners commenting on your blog. Great job on the race, old lady.
