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:)

First time running on Antelope Island! I'm super sad I will be out of town for the Buffalo 50 miler in March. Had to get out there and get a taste of the course. I can't describe how beautiful and peaceful it was. Buffalo roaming and beautiful scenery in every direction. Perfect day, despite the wind. I cant believe I live this close and never go. Dumb Tara. Dumb!

19.5 miles, 3:27:10, 10:33 AP.

7 miles in slush, snow, mud and freezing puddle jumping up City Creek towards the Twins. Ran out of time before I could hit the peak and turned around. Flocked trees overlooking a city of lights. Beautiful.

I've been thinking about writing down my workouts again. I always find it so helpful leading up to a race for confidence.

Right now, I am running 50/50 trail and road miles. It's been hard to transistion to road workouts again, my body has changed so much and makes me think marathon speed will be almost impossible to get back.

This is the first year I am not running any road races, but sticking to the trails to build up for Wasatch 100 in September. Other than that, I am planning on Timp Trail marathon and hopefully a faster 50 miler out of state to hopefully get into the North Face Championships in November. That will just be for fun, my main focus will be W100 this fall.

Lately I have been running lower miles, in the 30's weekly, but have put in some good speed workouts and some okay vert training. Nothing amazing, but decent base training.

Today- Gym workout. Lots of hip exercises and lunges. Upper body weights for 30 mins and a pathetic 1 mile warm up on the elliptical while I answered back emails.

Hoping to pick up training with some quality days ahead!

7 miles around Liberty Park, 7:58 AP. I did a leg day yesterday so my legs were dead, but otherwise felt okay. I think i was breathing harder than normal. Maybe that's my new normal. I have an appointment next week to get my iron rechecked after taking a month of supplements. If my levels aren't high enough, I'm going to go fly a kite.

I went to bed at 2AM last night, which is about 3.5 hours later than I usually go to bed. Made for a tired morning, so I got a later start. 

5 miles of slogging up Grandeur in the snow. Saw lots of other runners, no one was making it up to the top. I wouldn't say this was the most fun I've had, but glad I got something in. 5 miles in 1:40:00 ish
