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.

3.5 miles of high intesity climbing on the TM for just under an hour. I'm trying to reinvest  in my relationship with the TM again while my throat is irritated. The cold is just mean to it!

Stoked to be a new ambassador for Suunto!

Ooh. Suunto. Fancy.

Can you get me a watch for Christmas, now that you are an ambassador?

Does this mean that you don't have to pay anymore parking tickets, now that you are an ambassador?

Will you also be allowed to bypass security screenings at the airport, thus enabling you to smuggle drugs, now that you are an ambassador?

I think our friendship could take on a whole new meaning...

Here's what Tara's friendship means to me: someone that pretends to like you and then humiliates and belittles you in front of everyone else that is pretending to be your friend.

Burt- At first I LOL's about your comment and then I put on my thinking cap and started to think you were being serious, maybe passive aggressively. And if that's the case, that's not funny! I didn't know you felt this way. Is this because I said you were adopted on your birthday?;) Regardelss, I am sorry you feel surrounded by a bunch of pretend friends. I'll ease up on you. Any of our previous interactions occur monthly it seems, it looks like I need to make each of those times more positive! I'll work on that. And I'll try harder not to be a pretend friend!

Kam- yes to all the above. When can I start putting in my Christmas requests? I'm going to need it to be custom again. What will you come up with!!?? I say we do another Christmas eve run again on BST like last year. Maybe we can hold something sharp to Andy's back to prod him along too. I think I just figured out what you can make for Andy, something sharp and metal. I think Becky would appreciate that too.

LOL! Just kidding. I really am quite fond of your humiliating shenanigans.

Oh, whew!
