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 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.

Long run today on Main. Rolling hills but only ran about 25% on grass, just because I'm sick of being slow. averaged 8:03 mile pace. Overall was 2:46.Warm up first mile at 9:30,8:49, 8:33, 8:11,7:44, 7:54,8:13, 8:00, 8:06, 7:55,8:03, 7:58, 7:18, 7:47, 7:30, 7:34, 7:55 9:10 -hill and cool down time and the last two were around that time too, but Garmin wigged out again. Took a bathroom break twice and a GU midway. Good run, felt tired rest of the day. Pushed to moderate and felt really good. 

Biked 7 miles later in the day pulling the kids in caboose.

Good job Tara! That awesome you got 20 in! (looks like your pace is getting faster on your long runs)

Don't worry about the slow miles on the grass; you'll save your joints, and still be fast on the road. You are smart to take steps (haha) to minimize pavement time, i.e. your trail run on Saturday.
