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’m doing an individual plan that was created for Boston back in 2015. I remember it was pretty tough from a cumulative fatigue standpoint, but not really on paper. I’ve done enough speed workouts in my life to know what’s hard for me and what’s not. So as I go into them they seem not so bad, but each one so far has felt really hard, harder than I think it should be. I think I need to remember if they feel hard I’m doing them right and the plan is working... I hope. 🧐 I don’t feel out of shape, but this plan really makes you think you are. That’s word on the street.🤷‍♀️ Such a defeating feeling the entire way! I feel like there needs to be a Hanson’s Brooks marathon plan support group for people to wine about their performance and doubts. Where is that...oh, it’s right here.

I hope you don't have to drink wine as part of the training regime.
