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.

Went to the gym and did the same old boring cross training stuff for 90 minutes with weights. 7 miles total. Then I ran a mile to take attendance on all my limbs. Good news! All are accounted for, but my right calf muscle and left hammy are still tight.

After that I drove home and remembered I forgot to pick up my son for early out. Mother of the year award has already passed. I then raided my kids Halloween bags and was surprised to see all the good stuff was still there. I later learned why when my daughter asked me when they would be able to start eating their Halloween candy. She reminded me that I told them Monday night that they were all done eating their candy. They took it literally and have been salivating over their bags for the past week. I can't believe they listened to me. That makes me feel bad now. Candy for dinner tonight. Mother of the year is coming back!

I'm impressed that your kids have that much self-control!! I would've just eaten out of my sibling's bag and pretended I didn't eat any :)
