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.

5:30AM- The air quality is poor, off to the TM. 1.5 wu with frequent stops. My ankles took turns screaming with nerve pain during the warm up. It seems winter time causes this more often. Old lady syndrome. Whatever, but it soon dissipated and I was able to get the rest of the run in. Threw in some race paces in the last half to speed up time- 1600, 800, 600, 400, 200, 100, 100. Started at mp and worked down to 5:00. Half distance active rest in-between. This was not a difficult workout, but I wish the paces felt more comfortable for the limited time I ran them. Gotta start somewhere. 8.5mi @ 7:05ap.

It always cracks me up when someone in there 30's talks about being old....

I thought so too, Rye. That's why I refused to comment on such a ridiculous saying the first time I read this.

Ryan- you just keep laughing...it will get you one day too!!

Burt- Sometimes I can't tell if things are ridiculous or not. Thanks for letting me know. It's kind of you to stalk by, even when the content is terrible. You're a trooper.

Stalk by. Haha. I just laughed in my office and wound up with Diet Coke up my nose.

Ridiculous!

Burt- I know as hard as you try, you can't quit me.

Hi Scott!:)
