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.

This morning Kam, Andy, and I ran on Legacy Trail for a nice Saturday run. 12.5 total with 8:04 AP. This was my first real run after the half. It was slightly more ambitious than what I would have normally done, but I couldn't refuse the company. The pace felt just fine, a little cold but the air was so nice. I my right calf and left hammy decided to ditch out on the run with the last 1.5 miles left, so I had a slight limp join me for the remaining 1.25, then made everyone walk the last .25 for cool down up the hill.

Kam reminded me in not so many words, that I might not have anything to brag about so I should tell you that we ran through 4 cities; NSL, Woods Cross, Bountiful, Centerville and Farmington:) Now I feel validated. Great run and nice to meet Andy for the first time. Anyone else around that wants to join, we are thinking of Saturday runs on weekends that we're not racing.

Afterwards, drank a big glass of milk with some NSAIDs , then laid in a hot tub reading the latest Runners World. Then put on compression sleeves with a little stretching. Ahhhh, now time to clean the entire house before the in-laws come tonight.

Kam-Yep, we were still cleaning then too. Oh and replacing our water heater that decided to go out 6:00 last night:) Hope your blessing went well. Now clean up begins all over again huh.

JulieC- Would love to run with you when you are healthy again soon!

Hey Tara, what's up? Are you a slacker or just busy with other things???

Hey Rye, your comment woke me up and made me get out today:) Busy with a lot of odd things this week and nothing pressing= some laziness this week. Thanks for keeping tabs. I'd probably slide off track if it weren't for the blog and support.

Allie- Yes!! minus the cleaning.
