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.

Okay, let me see if I can get them all. Ran a 14 long run/tempo  this morning with Allie, Kam, Cam, Andy, James, Jake, Andrea and Mark. Yep, that's who was there.

The plan was 14 miles with a 2x2 mile tempo at marathon pace at the end, with a 1 mile rest. The wind and the rain in the beginning were making our 7:30 pace look like 9 minute pace, but felt like 7:00 pace:) Did you get that? It was still fun. When the time came for the tempo, our pack split up more. I ran with Andy, Kam and Allie for the 2x2. The first two miles were pretty flat, the second  two miles were a little more hilly, but in comparison with the hills around here Overall pretty flat.. Spits were 6:50, 6:42 and 6:42, 6:30.

Good workout. I was a little nervous in the first few miles, I had a weird sensation of a dead leg for some reason, you know the kind you get from being punched in the leg, not the kind from sitting funny. That left, then a "GU-less GU gut poked it's head in for a short visit, but was shortly lived and didn't effect the important tempo part of the run luckily. Overall felt great today and was happy to run with amazing runners.

Afterwards we went to Kam's for some yummy waffles! So good to meet FRB'ers in person!

So great to meet and run with you this morning! Fun times. Good workout as well, you are looking strong. We will definitely have to plan for another run in the future.

tara -- so nice to see you and run with you again. great job with the fast miles and overcoming the gu gut...and nice job stepping on james' shoe and perfectly replicating his accent. despite what he says, your high-tech running gear is much cooler than regular running gear. i look forward to the t-jaja experience.
