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.

3 miles total. 1 mile warm up then 6% incline with change of pace every 200 meters. Pace range from 6:30-8:30. 1 mile is all I had today. A few warning signs...massive sweating during the warm-up, no energy, and an elevated heart rate after my warm down (165bpm) Huh.

I don't really want to know the answer to this equasion....3 weeks of less than ideal training+hurt ankle+lack of energy= An intresting 10k this Saturday but will give it 100% of whatever I have that day. May the 10k gods be with me.

On a brighter note, It is my son's 2 year Birthday today! Elmo cake and bounce house action tonight at my house!:) The kids are so excited!
