Running Accomplishments:

I began running for my first time about 3 years ago. I remember calling everyone I knew the first time a ran 2 miles w/out stopping. I ran Mesa Falls half marathon @ 2:21 in fall 2009. I ran Salt Lake half marathon spring 2010 @ 1:54. Then I ran Missoula, MT full marathon summer 2010 @ 4:25. I was injured (IT Band) for Portland marathon (fall 2010) but went and picked up my packet anyway. Ran Ogden 4:26....

Short-Term Running Goals:

Over the next two years, I would like to improve my strenghth and speed.

Long-Term Running Goals:

I WILL qualify and run Boston before I turn 40. I just turned 36 this year ~ 

Personal:

In May, 2013, I will have been married to my love, Rex, for 16years. And it just keeps getting better and better! Two beautiful daughters. Emma (8) and Ali (5). This is my ninth year teaching and I love that I get paid to do it! Running gives me energy, sanity and is simple joy for me.

Even though I took yesterday off --- man, was I sore from doing yoga with only two other students yesterday - we are working on harder poses and my glutes were sore today! Also, I think just running more often it taking some getting used to. 9:14 pace - YET....no itband issues so praise up for that!!

looped river 8:58 pace - after school and in the warm sunshine! So cool to receive text messages from all the Boston runners today - such an experience even from home. Cannot even fathom what it was like there

Went to the gym - first "speed" work out according to Hanson's method of training for a marathon. 12 - 400's @ 7:52 pace with a 400 recovery inbetween at a 9:20 pace (ish) warm up for about a mile - ran out of time for another mile cool down - mis-judged my morning time to gym :)

Felt really good!

This was meant to be a 5 mile tempo run @ an 8:58 pace (what I want my marathon pace to be) however it was raining, I didn't have music and I felt so alive that I warmed up for a mile than just RAN baby RAN! 8:47 pace - think I needed that

9:24 pace - out in the drizzle rain - I could tell that my legs are tired from running 6 days this week. However, I felt really good - only water and purple power aide, no gel.
