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- View Benchmark. Lots of ice and snow in places which slowed me down. My energy was drained today, I've ran nearly everyday for 2 weeks aside from Sunday's with some harder efforts. Hate being reminded that I'm human;) 

Super cold outside! Felt around 10 in the mountains, breeze was colder maybe.

Gear: Petzl headlamp, Northface Bernie, 32 degree base layer, PI thermal top, PI windbreaker, REI down vest, Mountian Hardeare down skirt over feelece lined Mozella tights, PI N1 shoes.

It's cool that you have your own personal photographer. And welcome to the blog.

Why do you run so much? Are you training for a mysterious winter marathon or trail ordeal?

Kam, haha! Well it's off season, so just easy base training. Besides, I just can't think of anything else to do at 4-5AM;)
