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 haven't been to the gym in a month. I always feel guilty when I walk past the weights up the to cardio room. I need more strength training.

Workout: 

10 min Row machine

10 min Arc Glider

5 miles on TM consisting of-

Mile 1 @ 8:00, mile 2 @7:08, mile 3 @ 6:40, miles 4 and 5 steady change of pace 400's, alternating pace from 5k pace to marathon pace (6:03/6:40) for two miles. 34:30/7:06 AP. Felt fine today, need to do more, faster speed work but have been lazy and scared.

5 min cool down on elliptical, squats, one leg balance stuff, and rolled out muscles.

nice work today, tara. the one leg balance stuff is all the rage.

Tara, you shouldn't worry about speed work for a while, at least until you get feeling better about your ankles and base mileage.

Saying all the rage is all the rage.

From allie on Tue, Mar 13, 2012 at 15:06:19 from 161.38.218.168

no, it's not. it's actually passe. or cliche. i can't remember.

From Tara on Tue, Mar 13, 2012 at 15:23:06 from 75.169.153.34

Allie- You are all the rage.

Burt- You want to be the rage.

Kam- I know. I always loose sight when I have doubts, especially after Saturday. I need a plan. I think building base needs to be key. My base has disappeared somewhere. Long run Saturday?

My long run is going to be in St. George (son has a tennis tourney), but next week for sure.
