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 mile jog/walk with family and dog. Supposed to be a nice walk to the park, but I couldn't help to run along side the kids on their scooters. Legs felt fine and almost peppy. That won't be the case tomorrow, I'm sure.  Likely a mile or two run tomorrow with mostly cross training, then some marathon tempo work on Tuesday with the group.

You have a group?

From Andy on Mon, Aug 19, 2013 at 07:45:44 from 199.190.170.24

She meant to say groupies. She's kind of a big deal.

I'm going to start the official Taralyn Summers fan club. I nominate myself as president. Do I have a second?

From allie on Mon, Aug 19, 2013 at 15:42:47 from 97.117.89.133

aye.

From Tara on Mon, Aug 19, 2013 at 18:43:27 from 75.169.138.107

Aye for president, nay for club. Where does that leave it?

From allie on Mon, Aug 19, 2013 at 21:18:05 from 97.117.89.133

that leaves us with a president (forgive me) who has power over nothing.

ha.

hahahahahahahaha.

little old lady.

Burt, be careful. The NSA is reading this.

From Tara on Thu, Aug 22, 2013 at 18:45:35 from 75.169.141.182

I wish I knew what everyone was talking about. I guess only the president needs to be the one who's in cahoots with everyone.

Hi Scott!

Tara, I'm glad I'm not the only one that doesn't understand what they're saying.

From Burt on Sat, Aug 24, 2013 at 05:39:20 from 174.19.199.67

President of the Taralyn Summers Fan Club loves Pop a Squat. :)

From Tara on Sat, Aug 24, 2013 at 13:24:41 from 75.169.143.26

I'm so honored the President stopped by.
