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.

3 mile jog/walk with family and dog. Supposed to be a nice walk to the park, but I couldn't help to run along side the kids on their scooters. Legs felt fine and almost peppy. That won't be the case tomorrow, I'm sure.  Likely a mile or two run tomorrow with mostly cross training, then some marathon tempo work on Tuesday with the group.

1 mile easy run with my son. Then helped my neighbors move furniture for my neighbors. Legs feel fine, just slightly tight.

3.5 hours of sleep. Boo.

6:00 AM-Tempo Tuesday. Easy 5 miles with last 4 progressive at 7:13, 6:44, 6:40, 6:19. Legs and effort felt good, except for the last 75 meters when Kam challenged me to give it the "Bebe kick" (yes, referring to you, Angie Bebe.) He ran a faster kick than I was able to throw down. On an other note, Andy is an animal- he never breathes. It's freaky.

I think the race has caught up with me today. I could feel it enough. I never seemed to feel peppy and peppy is important. Oh well, I did it anyway but had some small breaks here and there. 10 miles with 3x1 miles at 6:48, 6:48 and 5:50,  just to make it fun. 7:30 ap.

 I bought a darling skirt from Lululemon that performed well during today's run so it can now be added to my small running wardrobe.

Nice run up Davis Blvd. Picked up the last few at mp and the very last in the low 6's. 9 miles total, 7:41ap.

Hurried home to get ready for a busy day. My youngest brother of seven, is getting married today in Utah County. From the wedding to prepping for the luncheon, then to the reception, weddings are never fun. Even if it's your own. If we could do it over again ,  we would save ours and our parents money and ride off into the sunset right after a small ceremony. Ahhh....back to work!

6:30 AM- I had a great long run today. I headed south on Main into Farmington and  The weather as perfect, minus 10 mins of a flash flood with lightning around mile 4. I took cover under a tall tree:) Not the smartest, but there were a ton of them so I took my chances. I thought about turning around and doing it on the TM, but the rain looked more elusive in that moment, so I pressed on. It stopped raining around mile 6 and left a cool breeze in the air. I stopped for a GU at mile 11.5 and ran the last 5 at mpe ~7:00. 7:55AP. Legs are tired.
