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.

Nice workout! I will be staying in NSL with Ashley on May 27-31, wanna run together Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday? I can't do Saturday June 1 because that's the day we're all riding Little Red.

From Burt on Fri, Apr 26, 2013 at 11:21:02 from 71.216.109.214

She's be delighted to Nan.

nice splits there, tara. mom is loving the pace on that last mile.

you can never have too many commas, burt.

Nan, That would be fun!! Thursday the 31st works for me. It would be fun to run on some of your old stomping ground trails. Let me know when and where. I can do early morning (6am) or after 9.

Burt- Sorry to tell you this, but you just lost your second job. I thought you knew everything. However, you might be happy to know that I purchased a book, published in 1973 from the DI entitled, "Write and Speak Better." I'm on page 21 of of 730. So far, I am writing AND speaking much better.

Allie, Hey, if, mom, says, then, I ,can, be, happy, with, t,h,a,t,,!

From Tara on Fri, Apr 26, 2013 at 12:23:49 from 69.171.178.25

Nan, Actually, Friday is best if that works for you.

From Burt on Fri, Apr 26, 2013 at 12:52:13 from 71.216.109.214

Friday the 31st then. Allie, heal up so you can join us! Burt, you're not invited. Since I'll be on vacation I would obviously prefer 9 a.m. but I'll do 6 if it would entice Allie or anyone else who wants to join in.

Email me your address and I'm happy to drive to you. I grew up on Vineyard Drive right below the Temple so my routes often included Davis or Bountiful Blvd. The Elephant Rock trail is always a fun one but we may not have time.

From Tara on Fri, Apr 26, 2013 at 13:43:13 from 69.171.187.87

If we go after the kids are off to school, (830) then I can go anytime on Thursday or Friday. That would be great if Allie could come, too!

From Burt on Fri, Apr 26, 2013 at 14:24:47 from 71.216.109.214

I don't believe I need an invitation.

From allie on Fri, Apr 26, 2013 at 15:39:25 from 97.117.82.92

i could probably make it -- just have to remember where NSL is.

From Burt on Fri, Apr 26, 2013 at 16:37:27 from 71.216.109.214

Nawalapitiya Sri Lanka. Be there.

From Burt on Wed, May 01, 2013 at 15:35:57 from 71.216.109.214

Thursday the 31st! No such thing! Nice try Tara. You can't fool me. I'm still gonna be there.

From Tara on Wed, May 01, 2013 at 15:45:47 from 75.169.141.91
