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- Met Andy at the Legacy Parkway Trail head.

We never plan what to do, we just run and keep up with each other's pace. Maybe one of these days we'll start Tempo Tuesday's again, but I'm in no hurry. Plus I like blindly running and talking about myself the whole time, so it can't be too much of an effort.

Nothing spectacular, but for a lackadaisical run, we were kinda zippy today. It must have been the earlier daylight. Plus I drank a V8 Energy drink. Those make me crazy. I had to do something, I was thinking Andy was going to bring his springy legs and that I was going to be tired from Saturday. I felt relaxed and didn't feel like the pace was pushed too much at the end, until the last .25, then I suddenly wanted to throw up.

That's super fast.

Burt, you're super cool.

I looked at the Rockies marathon and it is about the same "fastness" as Cottonwood. It starts 1,500 ft. higher and only has 300 feet more of elevation drop. The big advantage that Rockies has is that it is more of a steady drop the entire race. Miles 16-23 at Cottonwood are going to be tough.

Huh, not worth the drive. I'm scared to run miles 16-23. Officially.
