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.

Busy day at work, but busier when I got home. 2 miles was all I could squeeze with Steve, but I made sure they were hilly. Felt fine today.

6:00AM- Met Andy at the Legacy Parkway Trail head.  

 We never plan what to do, we just run and keep up with each other's pace. Maybe one of these days we'll start Tempo Tuesday's again, but I'm in no hurry. Plus I like blindly running and talking about myself the whole time, so it can't be too much of an effort. 

Nothing spectacular, but for a lackadaisical run, we were kinda zippy today. It must have been the earlier daylight. Plus I drank a V8 Energy drink. Those make me crazy. I had to do something, I was thinking Andy was going to bring his springy legs and that I was going to be tired from Saturday. I felt relaxed and didn't feel like the pace was pushed too much at the end, until the last .25, then I suddenly wanted to throw up.

5:30AM- It was 57 degrees and the first day I've worn shorts/T-shirt! What a beautiful morning it was today. I stayed up late attending an American Idol party and ended up getting 4 hours of sleep, but thankfully I felt fine today. I met Andy on LPT and we talked about going easier than usual. We seemed to ease into our regular pace anyway. We took the trail to Farmington overpass and connected onto Main Street for some rollers. Miles 6-7 we had a couple stops for a drink and to play with Andy's new watch. I want that watch. Then we made our way back to Pages LN trailhead. 7:38ap

Now I get to cultivate my flower beds. Every time I bring out the rototiller, I think of my dad rototilling our yard with a baby chick in his front pocket. I guess they were bonding. Anyway, he leaned over and rototilled the chick. Although I have offered my condolences, it still makes me giggle, because I'm sometimes a bad person.
