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've been so busy with work and sick kids, the one thing I let slide first was running. I usually find myself on an unplanned lazy break about this time each year anyway since the season has ended. Like last year, I plan to run a Thanksgiving run off of virtually no running the weeks before. Why not, it makes it more interesting.

Since the air quality has been less than ideal, I ran on the treadmill. I only got 2  wu miles in before my son began screaming. I'm getting really tired of "kicking tiny birds in the head, smashing crickets, and punching spiders in the face." His night terrors are killing me. I have to go through the motions with sound effects so that it's believable that I am taking care of business and  exterminating these monsters from his room. I guess you could say that I got a mini kick boxing session in. I never returned to the treadmill....little buddy was now up!

After getting the kids to school, I went to a Body Attack class for 1 hour. That was fun, I need to do a class or two more often.
