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.

Both of my Garmins are dead as of today. My 305 died after Ogden and my old timer died this morning. Also worthy of noting, my hair just looks silly today. My hot curlers also gave up the ghost as I got ready for work this morning. A lot to take in today!

8 miles on Davis. I didn't lope as much as usual today since I tried to run down a couple that looked to be going a decent pace. Unfortunatly, they only went out a couple miles before turning around. If I run Garmin-less, I need to find a way to make a game out of it. At least my early effort to catch them made some of the time pass.  Aprox.7:40's AP with the last mile at ~6:30's, downhill.

When you say "died" what exactly do you mean? I have had a little luck recently resurrecting my garmin...

Is that so, Kam. Hummm...wouldn't it be fun to see if you can also resurrect mine? Except, one Garmin came back to life, for now. The other one is strange (you know the one with the broken band I made you put on my wrist that one time?) It beeps, but no screen. Huh.
