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.

I woke up at 4am with nothing to do, so I drove to Gold's Gym for some inpiration. I jumped on the TM for a couple easy miles, then threw in a few intervals to make it interesting.

3X400 @ 6:00, 5:47, 5:25

3x200 @ 5:15, 5:00, 4:52,

3X100@ 5:00, 4:41, 4:17

Equal active rest @7:30 pace

6 miles total

Then I drove over to Firehouse for the 6:30 boot camp class. Lots of core stuff + throwing around a bunch of tires. I never made it to the sludge hammer station. This included a couple runs too, 2.25 miles total.

I got pulled over on the way home becuase I took my hair out of a pony tail. I  swerved into the left turning lane for a sec and was caught on the spot for crazy driving. I had a lot of explaining to do in regards to who's car I was driving. It's a long story. He got bored, so cut me off and let me go with a never-do-my-hair-while-driving-again warning.  #neverdomyhairwhiledrivingagainwarning

I didn't know treadmills could go that fast, obviously I've never gone that fast on one. I think the cop pulled you over to see if he could get a piece of a hot red head;)

Josse- I didn't know how fast it could go either. I just turned it up all the way and hoped I wouldn't fall off:)What are your Spring plans? I'm sure we'll match up for more races next year!

That's awesome, I'd be so afraid of falling off. Next time I want to see how fast the ones are I run on:) I want to do some early 5&10k I'm signed up for Ogden half and UVM. I'm sure I will do striders half and Provo city half cause they are my favorites. How about you?
