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.

Somehow I forgot to run today, sort of. When I planned to do it, the time slipped by and I lost my chance. Sort of didn't mind but that certainly piles the miles on later in the week!

Just got a new sponsor from Honey Stinger. I love thier fruit smoothie gels. Yum! "Gels" and "yum" don't usually go together in the same sentance for me, usually "doable", but this was actually yummy! I'm excited to get thier other products in the mail soon and gobble them up! Buzz.

I'm very curious about the concept of palatable gels.

Kam- You should be curious. I was very sure good gels didn't exist. I was beyond shocked when I had it, because I didn't gag (like I always do) and I even tried to squeeze the rest out. It's the consistency of honey and looks like honey. Go figure. When I read the recommendation to flavor water with it and use it as a sports drink, I mentally rolled my eyes. I'd actually try it though. When my box comes in, I throw some at you. Also, how's the knee?
