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.

Nice run in Napa's vineyards with Tish Hamilton, executive editor for runners world. We both passed each other, running single, and I decided to turn around and run with her. Every once a while we would pass her cameraman, taking shots, which was fun. I loved her calmness.

Met up with Andy on Legacy Parkway Trail. I wasn't feeling it this morning. I felt cardio wise out of shape and I had a hard time breathing. Must have been from traveling and the change in altitude from California? Not sure. I felt very flabby too. This was no shocker. My diet has fallen off the bandwagon as I haven't been racing this year. Time to get it together again, whether I race or not. I also want to focus on more cross training with core, Hiit and Pilates. It will be hard to incorporate these on a regular basis, aside from running so I'll start really small.

I've really enjoyed my hiatus and it was just what I needed. However, I need some accountablitly or I might get in trouble. Some things just need to be said out loud.

8 miles 7:20 AP- 8:11, 7:57, 7:49, 7:35, 7:06, 6:54, 6:55, 6:19. Felt better after turning around at half way, but last mile felt like a push and my HR reflected that at 96%/max. Go Tara.

I've been camping this weekend at Lambs Canyon for Young Women's Beehive camp. I took the girls on a short hike this morning. I feel exhausted, but had a great time.

pm: 2 miles, tired legs.
