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:)

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.

11:30 AM- Today I met up with Scott W. at the Capitol to run City Creek on the road.  The weather was perfect and the colors were beautiful. Lots of runners out. About two miles into the run, some runners were coming down the canyon telling us that there was a cougar or Bobcat sitting in the middle of the road, just ahead. We thought it was strange since they look very different, but Scott really wanted to find out for himself so I followed. We looked around the creek and up the hillside and heard rumblings, but never saw anything. Scott headed up the hill side looking for it and again I followed. I wasn't nervous becuase he wasn't:) Alas, we saw nothing and kept heading up the canyon then turned back down. Such a nice and relaxing run. I love running on fall afternoons! 8:45ap

Somehow I got looped into throwing a very large baby shower. I was called into the Relief Society presidency last month and since then, the requests have been intresting. Since our ward split last month, there are two wards basically coming which made for 100+ invites! I can't remember who thought that was a good idea, at least it's not at my house. If anything, this new mom will get a 100 presents, which will be nice for the couple.

Recently, we've have had a lot of issues in the neighborhood with vandalism and theft so we started a neighborhood watch program. One guy at our last meeting talked about shooting perpetrators on his property, despite the officer advising him not to. I'm not going to lie, after that meeting, some of the old people here scare me. This week especially, everyone has been on high alert.

Karen and I ran and delivered the invites at 6:30AM. We looked like the perfect criminals running up to houses in the dark with our headlamps, fiddling with thier door knobs, then running off. Lots of barking dogs and motion dectectors going off. My efforts to go undected were in vain. I was careful to turn off my lamp, quietly walk up to thier door, gengerly strech the rubberband over thier knob (without jiggling it!) then a dog would bark and I would scream. It was ridiculous, but a good time.

6:30AM- Progression intervals down Main Street. I didn't intend to make today a workout, but glad I sped things up at the end since it's been months since I've ran anything under 7:00 pace. I was held up a little on the last mile from a lady asking directions to a yard sale, but I never stopped, instead I sputtered out breathy directions, that seemed right at the moment. Started easy and finished hard.
