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.

6.5 down Main. I had to make myself run this morning. No more excuses of sleepless nights, I have to get out! For the last week, I haven't been able to get on a normal sleep schedule, but I should know that this always happens when I travel with any time change. Last months trip had me off for weeks! Plus it doesn't help when you have a little buddy in the next room making requests throughout the night. If I'm not beating up the bad guys (or critters) in his dreams, I'm getting him another blanket, wiping tears, threatening him, and running into walls and doors that show up out of nowhere in the night. I could have sworn I fractured my cheek the other night. Last night was legit though, he peed the bed and someone (me) forgot to put the bed protector on when his sheets were changed. What an ordeal. However, I can tell good things are to come. During breakfast this morning he stated, "Guess what mom? I don't eat my poop anymore!" Good to know. Clearly that is a sign of maturity that hopefully translates into restful nights.

 Anyway, since I don't have a race in sight, I'm focusing on testing a Nike top. I only have to get 5 more chilly runs in before I have to send it back. So far so good. I need to make a schedule for myself, running and exercise is boring lately otherwise. I need to start running to a couple TV series. I did start watching Parenthood. It looks like it will be a regular on the DVR. The Office is always good, love the X Factor, and The Bachelor is starting....ooooo.

Its nice to know that I'm not the only sleep deprived zombie mom struggling to get my runs in. If I duct tape my ipad to my TM I will be right there with you watching Bachelor, can't wait.
