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.

I have really been taking it easy lately. It's been nice to not have any important races looming over my mind. I plan to take it pretty easy until the new year, then begin another stretch until the end of fall. The training season can be pretty long otherwise! I have a couple of fun 5k's planned this month, one on Saturday and another on Thanksgiving.

I went to work early this morning and had a great day. I returned home and was invited to go on a trail run with a friend who is training for a 10k for Thanksgiving. She really wanted to see if we could cover 4 miles together on the the trail, so we headed off to BST and finished with 4.25. At the half way point she asked what our AP was, I told her 11:15. That frustrated her so we picked up the pace to 10:00 on the way back. Beautiful weather and good company.
