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.

Met up with Alana, Lyndsi, Gama & Deborah @ 5 to run. It is taking me some time to get my speed back up, but was nice to start in the dark and end with the dawn!! Wonderful weather! 55 degrees and a bit breezy!

ran in my neighbor hood this morning - so hard - all surrounding my knees - both - achy and overall heavy. Thought I was working hard, chanting through each step, and only had a 9:20 pace. Really not sure what my problem is, but was grateful for the coffee on the deck watching the sun rise and hearing the birds break into song!

Taking a personal day today - so I was able to leave for my run @ 7:15 this morning! Beautiful, a few walkers around the river and no smokers :) Really slow, and did feel my knee...not hurtful, just aware of it. Hope for this just to be working out the kinks. Time for me to kick the miles into gear and welcome summer!
