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.

I heard someone refer to the treadmill  today as "Satan's sidewalk." Haha!

5 miles with varying grades (+6% to -1%) ~7:45ap

Row machine intervals@ 1x5 mins, 2x4 mins.

After walking outside I really wanted to go on another run. How would that be to be able to run all day or whenever you wanted? I guess we can all do that if we wanted to make such sacrifices. Really, running altogether includes sacrifices on various levels whether it's sleep, time with others, relaxation, work, whatever might be.  I'm not a fan of the saying, "I don't have time." That's all for now:)

Also, for those concerned about the inversion, I have your answer. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152091961312383&set=a.277108232382.141352.29949167382&type=1&theater

To quote the thing that my dad always used to say (and sometimes still does), "It's all about priorities." Yeah, he was right.

You said it Jen! Do you go by Jen? Maybe it is Sister Neasts:)

I saw the inversion masks....but China has DESIGNER masks http://www.theatlanticcities.com/design/2013/11/china-keeps-it-classy-designer-smog-filtration-masks/7673/.

Step it up America!

Oh, I just need to give it up and go by Jen on here, even for Burt. :-)

I do like those designer masks, but I'd only wear them to stay warm. :-)

Did Mrs. R just call me?
