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.

6:00AM- Nice morning around 45 degrees. It started raining on the way back and it actually felt nice.

Progressive 90 min run down Main Street into Farmington. Easy on the way there, then picked up the last 5+. I treid to keep the effort steady on the hills, and didn't show too much of the pace slipping, but I was breathing hard. Last five miles around 7:00, with the last few under that. I tried to finish hard and felt tired at the end.11.36 / 90 mins. Cd 1+ for 13.75 miles total.

I honestly don't know what I am training for.

We are both training on the same road to nowhere.
