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.

We drove up to Idaho Falls to visit the in-laws. My mother-in-law signed me up for this race before my injury so I wasn't sure if I would be able to do it. I drove up with my sister-in-law's who also ran the race.  It was windy and cold with some sprinkles but seemed to not effect the race too much. I figured I could at least run marathon pace for a workout and decided to leave my watch at home. About 150 or so runners, lots of high school kids. Wasn't planning to place whatsoever, so it was a bonus to win this smaller race, 11th overall with males. Felt fine and never pushed the pace so my back and glut were undisturbed- but I did taste pennies afterwards. A clear sign my cardio has gone south. Great fundraiser for scholarships!

Nice job. Hey you know in early 2011 I hurt a disc in my back that had me out for 8 weeks. Be careful or you might get as bad as I did. Looks like you're being careful though.

You not only won, you helped some yuppy pay for his liberal arts school. Great job!

nice job, tara! congrats on the win and getting back into the running mix. glad you were not disturbed by any aches or pains today.

what year were the pennies? i have a green one from 1954 and i'm certain it would taste worse than other years.
