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.

60 seconds jog rest (90 seconds for last 4). Met 97% of max HR on final interval at 205 bpm.

Felt good today. These felt much better than they did 3 weeks ago. I also love my new Kinvara's. I think I'll wear them for more than just speed!

From Burt on Wed, Mar 06, 2013 at 16:03:55 from 71.216.109.214

See??? Marry them! That joke never gets old. Here I am trying to expand my range of comedy, but the classics never die.

From Tara on Wed, Mar 06, 2013 at 16:58:11 from 75.169.139.124

Burt- I DO!

From Kam on Wed, Mar 06, 2013 at 17:16:00 from 68.66.163.179

At my house, anybody who uses that line risks being punched in the face without facing any parental retribution. I could handle around 10 on Saturday, but you ladies will have to keep the pace out of the fives.

shawowzzz! nice workout, tara.

my favorite classic that deserves a punch in the face: "just a sec!" "no, no secs."

From Tara on Wed, Mar 06, 2013 at 17:26:14 from 75.169.139.124

Kam- Don't you love how I already assumed you were on the thread? Ha!

Okay, 7:00am. Should we run on Legacy Trail? Where is a good place to meet? I invited Allie too. Not sure if she'll come after her epic battle last weekend.

Sorry, Burt. Wish you could come too:)

From Tara on Wed, Mar 06, 2013 at 17:30:48 from 75.169.139.124

Allie- Ah, there you are. You made a comment while I was typing apparently:) JINKS! Did I use that right? Speaking of classics, "No, no secs" LOLOLOL and Shawowzz!
