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.

Funny how when I went to write 2 miles, the computer wanted to auto fill with 21 miles. Nope, 2 miles - on the TM in my basement. However, I feel the time off for my rib to fuse together was worth it. I will slowly gather miles, speed and endurance under my belt. I will be stronger. I will be faster. I will my body to work in unison with my spirit and mind to be fully whole once again. I have really missed running. So for today, I celebrate my two miles.

First time outside to run in about 5 weeks! The leaves smelled amazing - infusing my senses! Odd how your pacing is totally off when you come back from taking so much time. First mile 8:20, second mile 8:37 and third mile and half 9:12. Ah, but it felt good to be outside running. So much praise up today!

Ran right after dinner (ew, not a bright idea) on TM @ home. amazing how hard 2 miles seemed tonight. Feeling my IT band, but think it is just tight, as is all of me. I took my time to stretch, may even ice as I still feel it an hour later. Won't complain, just happy to be able to run. I feel I am completly healed from my break
