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.

Progression run. I studied out the 10 mile course for next Saturday and tried to duplicate the last 5 miles of the run- the toughest part since it climbs up for several miles to the finish. Ran the first 5 just under 8 pace.

The course around mile 6 goes up for 3/4 mile then levels out or slowly climbs for another 3/4, then climbs another 3/4. So at mile 6 I increased incline to 3% at 7:15 pace, leveled out around mile 7 and picked up pace to 7:08. Around mile 8 increased to 7:00 at 3% for 3/4 mile. Last 1.25 miles, picked up the pace to 6:00 with finishing speed at 5:00 for the last lap. Felt relaxed and controlled today. Maybe it was due the two days off that I didn't mean to take off:)

6:00! 5:00! nice simulation run and way to push the pace. "relaxed and controlled" is an excellent sign for a tough run like that.

if you're interested, i can install some fireworks in your shoes for the 10 miler. it's a nice touch when you set them off as you are crossing the finish line. let me know.

Tara's fireworks go off a little bit after she breaks the tape.
