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.

In a hurry today again because I was so unmotivated and waited till last minute to do the workout. I did 1 mile warm up then 6x800 at 6:27 pace then 1X1600 at 6:27 with a 200m jog inbetween each interval. I resisted the urge to go any faster since I wanted to get a steady pace set for my half next week. Workout felt easy, probably should have done a few more, but ran out of time. I think my speed workouts need to be increased- I hate doing them though. If I could do a long run everyday I would:)

Afterwards went to the Chiropractor for tens treatment, ice, some exercises and adjustments.

lol-I would rather do intervals any day over a long run-(long runs take the most out of me by far!)Is your knee bothering you alot?? How annoying. Any way-I am in Utah right now and was wondering if you would want to meet up on Tuesday and take the kids to Thanksgiving point. (For 2 dollars you can do any of the activities.) Anyway-let me know. Annica can go too-it would be fun to meet up!

Christi- Would love to go on Tuesday, but would have to earlier due to a work meeting at 2 in Ogden....but I'll text you.

No major issues with my knee, just some aches after long runs is all. I'm doing more preventitive than anything, although I do have that chronic knee problem that I had our Senior year of HS.

Yeah, I hate track workouts. I wish I had someone to do them with the funny thing is that I love long runs alone:) I feel like that is my time to recharge and think.
