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.

30 mins of easy spin and some weights. Didn't feel well.

I can't believe it's been one week since SGM. For lack of better words, it's been a rough week in recovery. My legs have been the least of my concerns. This bug I have, is mean. The cold-turned-flu-sinus infection-turned-stomach flu might be a new strain. I expect my face in the news, next to a bird and a swine- warning of a new outbreak. Isn't that dramatic? Yes, it is. I'm at about 65% today. That's 15% away from being half dead, so that's an improvement.​

I've thought a lot about the race. A little fire has started under me to comeback to SGM in 2014 and improve on my performance.

I'm also registered to run a half in a few weeks. I can't decide if I want to end the season or finish off with that race....Time will tell if my body is able to move again by then, at least the way I need it to.

I'm looking forward to a winter of easy runs (Tempo Tuesdays maybe?) and more lifting.

Fun Tara will be back soon.
