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 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.

Free deer meat anyone? Various cuts available, road kill style. I ran over a large deer yesterday morning on my way to work. It was still dark so I had little time to respond to a dead dear laying in the middle of the highway. Things haven't been the same since for my poor car. I had it checked out today and ran around till my car was finished. Broken emergency brake cable, needs alignment and a stench that will not go away. I chose the victims guys at the Chevron Super Soak car wash to give my car the "Ultimate+" car wash, something that is not advertised. As they began spraying off the car to prep before going into the wash, I rolled down my window and casually mentioned that I might need a little extra spray under the car. I died laughing as I watched their faces change when they saw what was dragging under the car. They began pulling out large chunks of meat and began gagging which turned into laughing. Together we suffered through the new smells that emerged. They mentioned that their days were generally boring so it made me feel better. They even went the extra mile and pulled out a tool to tighten a few things that looked loose. Thanks to Mike and Mark who will never read this blog! Everything needed to be fixed and cleaned out before our trip to Disneyland next week! 3 miles in 90 mins:)

I was wondering when you were going to get to the running part.
