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.

1.5 warm-up on elliptical on level 10. Jumped on the TM for a quick 1. 5 on TM to test tempo pace, then straight into tempo.

5 mile progressive tempo @ 6:15AP, with varying grades. 6:39 (1.5%), 6:31 (1%), 6:18 (.5%), 5:53(0%), 5:54 (-1.5%) and .1 (:30). Last 5k in 18:37. 

I was more tired for the first mile, but each mile after I felt better and better. Finished feeling really good and tempted to do a 10k, but knew it would wipe me out if I did, and the goal was to finish with more in the tank. More than the times, I'm pleased with how I felt at the end of the workout!

I needed to get more miles, so ran a few more after the tempo for a total of 9 @ ~6:58AP. 

1 mile with dog later on.

Very impressive trademark allie.

I can't find your comment about a Saturday run anywhere...the weather looks kinda sketchy for BST, though.

Allie- I was also very impressed with your Registered symbol. Only my phone can do that, but not the ole' laptop. However, my phone can't do party hats!

From allie on Fri, Mar 22, 2013 at 16:38:02 from 97.117.89.160

ha! those party hats ruin everything.

direct address comma, burt.

What does Sasha have against party hats anyway.

Yeah, Burt.

What's next? You want me to capitalize your name?

From allie on Fri, Mar 22, 2013 at 17:56:46 from 97.117.89.160

no.

From Burt on Fri, Mar 22, 2013 at 18:04:39 from 71.216.109.214

My focus is on Tara.
