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.

Beautiful day! Ran with Shelley, Alana and then Deborah joined us for the first 10 miles. Rex and girls were our aide station ~ ran out towards Shelly and back. Shin really hurt, but was able to make it. Had an average pace of 9:16 - for a total of 3:05 hours out running :) Tough last 2 miles...really hurt afterwards. hips, knees, etc. ice bath helped with that.

74 degrees when I ran this afternoon! Beautiful, yet tough for a heat run :). Average of 8:50 pace for first 10 ~ met up with Emma to run a mile around the block (11:41 pace) and then finished my last mile around the neighborhood! Whew, salt block when I was done ~ but amazing day for Mothers Day!

all of me felt great ~ wanted to do 20 but my shin was really sharp and crunchy :( ended up calling rex to come scoop me. I struggled with walking around church - kept leg up, advil, ice and icy hot on the outside. Soaked in hot epsome salt bath at night - feels so much better!

Early morning therapy with Alana! Shin a little sore, but cannot believe how much better it feels today. I will stay on the advil and icy hot. Also, have iced this morning, I will at noon, after school then again tonight. Then I like the idea of epsome salt bath ~ how nice!

Great 8 miles with Alana (freeman twice) then down to Panchari & back. THEN we went and snagged the girls and took them for their first official training run! Emma ran 1.75 miles today - not sure on pace, but she was strong. would take brief walk/water breaks then go again! We topped off our girl time together with soy steamers at Bella Coffee ~ I had the soy Chai :) What a great way to begin the two week tapper!
