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.

6:30AM- I walked out my door and smelled a horrid stench, mimicking a skunk. I'm pretty sure one peed on my doormat. My house must be the happening place, because the the other day when I went out for an early run, a deer ran right past me as I walked out the door. I'm expecting, of course, a cougar next.

10.5 miles on Main Street this morning. The temperature was great but, the air quality looked and smelled borderline toxic. I felt good this morning. At half point, I turned around and did 3 minutes on/ 3 minutes off totaling aprox. 5x800 meters at 6:30, 6:17, 6:26, 6:12, 6:30. The first 2 were uphill with the rest rolling. It's been a while since I put some speed into my legs but it felt good although my lungs started to feel it on the last hill.

I have to clean out my garage today which should be a 2 day project. AM cross training I'm not looking for to:)

7:00 PM- 60+ mins of tennis. Somehow I'm getting worse, but my attire is improving. Tonight we agreed I looked like something out of a DI catalog.

You are so funny Tara! I love it.

Great running today. I'm sure glad you got a good run in before the real project of the day began.
