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.

You go girl! It was even colder today.

Melody, why is your blog set to private? Does this have anything to do with the Phoenix Marathon?

From Kam on Wed, Jan 02, 2013 at 10:31:43 from 68.66.163.179

It's too cold to run outside, except for the hardest of the hardcore.

From Tara on Wed, Jan 02, 2013 at 11:19:09 from 75.169.138.65

Julie- I hope you run pain free this year...its about time, right! I'm surprised you ran yesterday considering how you felt earlier. That is hardcore.

Burt- Thanks for being faithful, no matter how dry my posts are, especially lately:)

Melody- I too noticed your blog was private along with Allie and Andrea. The blog world is drying up. I once thought about making mine private so I can complain out loud and people wouldn't see what a wuss I am... maybe that comes out anyway!

Kam- I prefer "gamer":)

hey I am off tomarrow wanna meet up for a run with me? If not lets meet up on Sat.

From Tara on Wed, Jan 02, 2013 at 12:15:31 from 69.171.178.80

Angie- I have to run pretty early tomorrow morning so I might just run on the treadmill since it will be very cold and very dark! I work every day until Tuesday the 8th. After that, I am free anytime for the next 8 days. We WILL get together soon!! Maybe one of these days, we'll actually meet up for lunch at work :-) Do you still have my number? It's easiest to text me.

Happy New Year Tara!
