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.

6:45AM- Easy with ladies on Bountiful Blvd.

6.5 hours of landscaping. I am the worst at mowing lawns! And my arms are sore from using the weed eater! I  also had loads of fun digging in a garden barrier.  But the very most fun was using my neighbors power sprayer. I power sprayed everything wether it needed it or not, including my kids. Oh, then we raced up and down the street on their razor scooters. My kids beat me every time. My right leg is actually sore. What a crazy one-legged exercise.

PM: Day 2 of the 30 day ab challenge. Since I forgot yesterday, I had to do double- 35 sit ups, 22 sec plank, 13 crunches and 13 leg lifts.

Great job on the ab challenge. I'm so proud of you. And I'm not jealous either.

razor scooters.

that sounds like a lot of hard work. i usually trim about one square foot with the weed whacker before my arms fall off.

My kids suddenly became razor crazed so we went on a razor scavenger hunt a few weeks ago. Got one from Savers, another from Goodwill, and the third came from a house my husband purchased to renovate. Found it in the back yard. Score!

Its totally an awkward exercise though. I used to go to a chiropractor who blamed scooters, skateboards, and the "one strap backpack" trend for 99% of our spinal issues.
