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.

Woke up extra early this morning in hopes to beat the snow. Only snowed for last mile but lots of stop and go with icy patches and slowing and stopping for traffic. It was sort of unreal this early in the morning, but there was no getting around the ice.

I wanted to do some slightly faster miles so ran on Davis due to the smaller rollers, but hindsight, the stop and go was worse than if I would have just endured the hills on Main. Tried to average around 7:00 AP but got off with the frequent obstacles- regardless happy about effort and felt great today. 10 total, with 1 mile warm up and down. Overall AP at 7:13. For my records.. splits were 7:38, 7:23, 7:31, 7:31, 7:08, 7:11, 7:00, 6:30.

We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands...

Ha ha, what are you talking about Kam? Must be a song of yours.

From Kam on Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 00:54:50 from 174.23.225.26

It's a Led Zeppelin song. Weird stuff.

Kam and Allie-

I now have work off, so I would like to sign up for the "little big" workout on Saturday. When and where? No rush to start early this time for me.
