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.

I had to work today so I actually chose to wear wedges to fixate my leg muscles. It worked but still sore. 3 mile hilly walk with my sister later on. Walked in a skirt with my white Sketcher's toning shoes. It looked real nice together.

6am: XT- 30 minutes on the elliptical, strides, PT exercises and rolled out some sore muscles. They actually felt better till I rolled them out.

6am: Met with the ladies group at the track to do legs and abs for the hour. Afterwards ran 4x400's in 85 with another girl to feel out my legs. Felt like a tired rag doll.

PM: PT appointment. I finally graduated and I am happy with the results! 90 minutes of training with focus on legs and lower body.

Pt exercises and 1 mile run with my 2.5 year old and Joss on the blog. She's very excited about her new blog, maybe she'll stick with it.

6 AM: 13 miles in 2:09:26. Met up with Twinkies and Kam for Muller Park loop. The weather was perfect and the company was great. First time meeting Twinkies- his enthusiasm is contagious. We had good conversations about racing and mental games. I felt great going up and down until the last 1.5 miles on the road were more challenging. I think it was apparent by my silence for the last 1.5. My legs were spent. I knew I needed an ice bath so put in all our ice in a bath of room temp water. It came out slightly colder, not so much an ice bath:) I'm feeling drained but glad I got this run in today.

Let the race reports flood in!
