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.

clock sit ups. tell me more.

15% incline??? What the...

Good job Tara.

Correction: 3X12 clock sit ups. Lay down on an inversion bench with legs up and secured. Sit ups start at 1:00 and go around the "clock" up to 12:00. Great for working all angles of my muffin top.

I KNOW they are working as evidenced by a creepy complement, from a not-so-creepy house keeper at work last Monday. "Dang girl,I'd like to wash my clothes on your wash board!" Whoa! He meant my muffin top.

i just tried doing some clock sit ups at work and my boss caught me at "4 o' clock". cripes.

thanks for the explanation though. i'll try again at home.

Dang girl, I thought you only ran around naked at home. Inversion bench with legs up and secure. Sounds like something a urologist would use.

Woah! my comment was one second after yours allie. My inappropriate comment as usual.

From Jackie82 on Wed, Mar 20, 2013 at 14:21:24 from 18.189.42.191

That is some crazy awesome incline!! Great job climbing the mill.

Allie- I forgot to tell you. ONLY DO THESE IN THE PRIVACY OF YOUR OWN HOME, or at Gold's Gym.

Burt-Are you sure you haven't seen an OBGYN in the past?

Risky comments. What would Ryan say? I dare you to put THAT comment on Sasha's blog!

Jackie- Looks like you are training well right now. Thanks for leaving a comment. My blog is usually appropriate as long as Burt is busy with something else besides stalking me.

From Burt on Wed, Mar 20, 2013 at 17:11:11 from 71.216.109.214

Don't believe her Jackie! Her blog in NEVER appropriate!
