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.

6:30AM- as much as I wanted to go for a run this morning, I could not turn down a 3 mile walk with my good friend from out of town. Slow and steady.

7 miles down Main. I smelled fresh donuts for most of the run, a good change compared to garbage days. Felt energized and kept a good pace.

6am- Davis Boulevard with a girl I didn't know. Turns out her group never showed up and neither did mine so we ran together, it was interesting. She turned around after 2 miles and I went a little longer for 7 total.

pm- 2.5 hours of raw tennis. I need to stop playing around with the racket so much. My legs are bruised to death from nicking myself. I also spent a large amount of time watching a cat run around the court instead of the ball. I think I was the only one that found that entertaining. On another note, I actually won a few games! I'm getting better, but a very long way to go. Fun tournament! still searching for tennis skirt.

7 hours of cutting, boiling, straining, processing, and canning applesauce. It was certainly a grueling process. I'll never do it again. It tastes just like the stores sauce that's selling for 69 cents a can right now. Huh.

6:30AM- I walked out my door and smelled a horrid stench, mimicking a skunk. I'm pretty sure one peed on my doormat. My house must be the happening place, because the the other day when I went out for an early run, a deer ran right past me as I walked out the door. I'm expecting, of course, a cougar next.

10.5 miles on Main Street this morning. The temperature was great but, the air quality looked and smelled borderline toxic. I felt good this morning. At half point, I turned around and did 3 minutes on/ 3 minutes off totaling aprox. 5x800 meters at 6:30, 6:17, 6:26, 6:12, 6:30. The first 2 were uphill with the rest rolling. It's been a while since I put some speed into my legs but it felt good although my lungs started to feel it on the last hill.

I have to clean out my garage today which should be a 2 day project. AM cross training I'm not looking for to:)

7:00 PM- 60+ mins of tennis. Somehow I'm getting worse, but my attire is improving. Tonight we agreed I looked like something out of a DI catalog.
