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.

This morning I was given an insiders tip that Walmart would be carrying .22 shells by 7:00am. I woke up extra early in line,  waited 20 mins and was told just kidding.  Steve would love these for a stocking stuffer. I had no idea these were hard to come by. Lamerz! So I just walked around Walmart and bought lots of candy.

9:30am- 11 beautiful and (super) muddy miles up City Creek trail with Mr. Weseman and Mrs. Body Odor.

Oh my, today was fun! I met Craig and Scott at the AF park and Ride, then carpooled to Squaw Peak. We had a discussion on the way up about the important things to pack in a vest. Criag made light of Scott carrying a first aid kit, then minutes later, Craig gashed open his head on a low-lying branch. He was  intent on continuing forward, even though he clearly needed stitches. Good thing Scott had a butterfly Band-Aid in his pack :-) Within the first 15 minutes, it started to get icy and the footing was iffy. For some reason, I left my spikes at home-- another important item to pack in my vest!  I felt like an idiot for caving in and using one of Scott's, but I don't think I would've made it up otherwise. Lots of little slips and squalls but we made it up to the top. We took a few photos, then turned around. We wanted a few more miles so we ran up another way to get a few more. Coming back down was a complete riot!! What an awesome morning! 10.5 mi/ 3:16:30
