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:) Personal:

| I had the time of my life running the 2nd Annual Timpendance run with the Wasatch Mountain Wranglers. Since our kids are out of town, Steve was able to come and tag my brother Adam to come along with him. Craig L., had a drawing for some prizes at the beginning and we each got some cool stuff. We started at 9:30pm and ran to the top. I ran with Jennilyn and Steve Froggly for most of it, but there were so many people around, and it switched up a lot. I was grateful for Scott W., for helping me out and giving me safety tips. It was very steep and slippery at the top with the snow. I can't help but to wonder what it would have looked like in the day. Ben Light was at the peak with some bacon for everyon! We took pictures at the top and celebrated with hugs and hi-fives (okay, mostly me, I had never done anythign like that! I was by far more excited than most of the others, lol!) I ran down with Scott W., for part of it and my brother in law Scott Summers for the rest. The last miles really dragged by as my light became dim and the hidden rocks were plenty. We ended around 1:30 to a BBQ in the parking lot. We didnt stay, since Adama and Steve had ended thier hike 2 hours earlier and were sleeping in the car:) It was hard but so worth it. I can't wait to do it again!!

| 3 miles with Steve around the Stadium of Fire. I thought I would be sore today from last nights Peak run, but I'm not. Although my arms a little sore from climbing.

| 10:00PM- Legacy Parkway trail midnight half marathon. Andy and I paced the 1:50 group. It was a lot of fun, but it sure strange running in the dark of night. I think we came in about 30 seconds early at 1:49:31 for 13.04 mi., but the course measured short. I came home with a sore left knee and right big toe tenderness, which feels like a bit of tendinitis. Made an appointment with the podiatrist earlier today that will take place in a couple weeks. But as I write this now, days later, it's not feeling so bad. My left middle finger on the other hand has got some issues, for the past seven months. Two young for gout, I think (or is it associated with diabetes?) and seemingly young for arthritis, but then again I guess that come anytime. Who knows. Good thing my finger doesn't hold me up as far as I'm concerned. Weeding my garden on the other hand....Feeling a bit decrepit!

Change of pace 2 miles with one minute at marathon pace alternating with 30 seconds at 5K pace, 6:53/6:00. Felt pretty easy considering my lack of training for the past month.

| 6am- Andy and I decided to go run up on Davis boulevard since it has been a while. The place was a little bit picked up for the first half but I think we were both trying to push the AP a little to challenge our average pace from past runs earlier in the year. 7:24ap which is about 6 seconds slower for an average pace than one other run done in October, however I did some intervals with that last workout. For a standard progressive run, it was good pace for this route. I was also happy the pace didn't feel too taxing, until the last half-mile but even then, it wasn't bad. It was quite warm outside! Quite content with these runs, especially since My running goals are quite loose at present.

| 45 minutes of basketball, playing "speed"with Steve, Adam, Matt, Emily, Ashely and a few older kids. I haven't played basketball or shot hoops since junior high gym class. I was surprisingly better than I thought, and won several rounds or was runner-up. I hardly missed a shot ..and was wearing a Levi skirt! Again, the surprise was evident from all:)

| 6 miles with Karen down Main. The amount of whistles, hollers, and men hanging half thier bodies out of thier car window's, were many this evening. I've never had that problem before. Karen was wearing a cute skirt and the men couldn't resist. Who knew Main Street Centerville was filled with so many testostone filled men. We decided to run up to 400E in the construction zone so we could talk and carry on a conversation.

| 6:45AM- Davis Blvd. Overcast, windy, 80% humidity, 66 degrees but the wind made it feel cooler, which was nice. Ran up 400 N to Davis Blvd. First mi up was around 11:00 mins.
Turned around for an impromptu progressive run for 4.66 mi. Took a bathroom break half way at Lewis Park. Splits were 7:38, 6:59, 6:52, 6:27, 6:05 (.66)= 6:52AP. Overall, it felt felt pretty effortless for the pace, even with a decent headwind on the way back. I didn't start to feel it till the last mile, which was downhill.
The time passed quickly chasing a speedy HS boy, who passed me at a blazing speed. I stayed on his tail to keep a steady pace. After a mile, he stopped and gasped for air on the side of the street for about 5 seconds until he turned around and saw I was right there, then he picked it up again for another mile before stopping altogether. I'm happy with the splits becuase it didn't think I was going too fast:) Felt good overall- yet flubbery. 8mi@ 7:32ap.
