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.

The queeziness finally subsided after lunch today.  Now just weak, but just need to plug in some quality calories and I'll feel much better. A three pound (fluid) loss can only contribute to a faster time:) I know I'll be ready to rock in roll by Saturday. Today I may go out for an easy 3 miles with a few mp pick ups. Tomorrow the same, Friday off and a PR on Saturday. I've finally settled on my mantra for Ogden...

Feel better. Eat like there is no tomorrow today, then dial it back to normal tomorrow. Big PR by approximately 10 a.m. Saturday. I'm already looking forward to Sunday morning with all the race reports.
