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.

6:00am- Tons of runners out on Davis this morning, even a BYU female runner- decked out in her uniform. I was tempted to turn around and run with her, but then remembered that would be weird.

4 miles easy on Davis followed by 2x2miles @ 6:56, 7:11, 6:38, 6:01. The first 2 miles were mostly rollers, aimed at mp effort. Jogged .5 inbetween. No plan for the second set, just wanted to go faster and take advantage of the downhill on the last mile. At one point I looked down and saw 4:54 pace. That made me feel EXTRA cool. 

Hot Pink Kinvara Miles: 9.00

Are you going to start wearing your ISU uniform and get a little rivalry going?
