| Member Since: Jun 28, 2008 Gender: Female Goal Type: Marathon Finish Running Accomplishments: I have run five marathons (fastest being 3:58) and 4 half marathons (fastest being 1:45). Those are the only races I have ever done, but I love it and I plan on trying to keep it up for as long as possible. I want to run every race better than the one before. Short-Term Running Goals:
Run St. George Marathon
Qualify for Boston! Personal: I am a teacher, wife, and mother of two little girls so needless to say...I am a little busy. I love running with my friends, not only for the workout, but for the social aspect as well. I just hope I can keep getting faster all the time! Favorite Blogs: |

I was dragging a little bit today. Must be that Dr. Pepper I can't live without! Note to self :stop drinking it! Anyway today I ran Foremaster Ridge run. Boy do I hate that hill. My legs need more than 1.25 miles to warm up for that. Ran by myself. The girls really motivate me on hill days and it was brutal to run it alone. Heading to SLC and Springville today for the rest of the week so hopefully I can get a run in. splits= 8.14, 8.57, 7.59, 8.03, 7.50 for last .25 Avg. pace= 8.17 | Comments(1) |

In Springville this weekend. Ran through Mapleton and up Hobble Creek Canyon with Angi. Beautiful run. I could look at those green trees all day! Maybe someday I will run the Hobble Creek Half...I bet it would be fun. I took it pretty easy today. I didn't want to have another bonk due to elevation change. We fought a head wind most of the time that made running up the canyon brutal. The temperature was great though. Then when it was time to run down the canyon the tail wind stopped. Figured. I planned on picking up some time coming down but it didn't quite work out that way. Fun day. 8.53, 8.09, 9.02, 8.44, 8.29, 9.05, 9.50, 9.27, 7.45, 7.55 avg. pace=8.45
Breakfast: Luna bar- lemon/ felt good, no problems | Add Comment |

Got up early today and ran by myself. Started up Hobble Creek Canyon again but the head wind was bad so I turned around and looped through town. Didn't feel great today. Wake boarding and a 10 yesterday must have taken its toll on my muscles! Anyway, it felt good but didn't push too hard. 8.39, 8.03, 8.07, 8.37 avg. pace= 8.21

| Note to self: Never, ever, ever run at 9:00 at night, in St. George, in July, after dinner! Only made it 2.44 miles for fear of overheating and dying a slow, painful death! Next time don't bother. 8.03, 7.59, .44= 7.58 Avg. Pace= 8:01 | Add Comment |

Ran a longer run today due to schedule problems. I haven't felt on my game lately and am really sluggish. I don't what the deal is. I am going to up my water and see if I am getting dehydrated??? Anyway, I just want that feeling back that I could run forever! Ran through Washington fields today and up past Judora. Was a good 8 mile loop. 8:23, 8:09, 8:23, 8:22, 8:18, 8:01, 8:12, 8:18, .15=7:40 Avg. Pace= 8:15

Ran around the collge with Annette and Liesel. Had a little trauma getting out of the house. Maci woke up and screamed the entire time I got ready. I worried the entire run but turns out she was just a punk and went back to bed. Without waking her dad! Felt okay. Stomach hurt a little might have been the speed I inhaled the protein bar though. 8:17, 8:38, 8:07, 7:56 Avg pace= 8:15

Today was a good day. I ran the Bryce Canyon 1/2 and did my personal best on a 1/2! (By about a minute) Started to drag about mile 8-10. Was really sick of listening to music. Felt pretty good the whole way. Looking back, I should have pushed harder through water stops to save time but hind sight is always 20/20. So fun to hang with the girls.

Okay today was a little interesting. First, I turned on my Garmin and it was dead. Ellie must have unplugged it yesterday. So, all the info is from Jessie's Garmin. I managed to stay with her till about the last 1 1/2 miles. Then she took off. I finished about 25 seconds after her so I tweaked the last part. I decided to leave banana chunks along the way. It worked great. Maybe next time I will take a goo about mile 12 or so. I was lacking energy by the end but don't know if it was because I knew the end was soon or if I just needed a boost. I liked the feeling of no goo though. It made my stomach feel better. Next time bring oranges! Hot today when we started the thermom. said 91. I could feel it big time up those gradual up hills.
Total time: 1:52ish 7:59 min avg
8:43, 9:05, 8:27-Hot 90 degrees already up Dameron
7:47, 8:09, 7:48, 7:43,8:06,
8:07, 8:21,- not bad up Winchester

| Ran the college run again tonight. Had to go late cuz Sean worked this morning. I wanted to try and run it faster even though it was HOT. I always have the intention to push hard but seem to wuss out when I have other girls with me. Anyway it was a good run and I managed to go quite a bit faster than yesterday. 8:04, 8:03, 7:23, 7:37 Avg= 7:47 | Comments(2) |

Ran Foremaster with Jessica today. We took it easy a little. Cramps suck! It was good to go early though. It actually felt a little cool when we started, that soon changed but it was better than later in the day! Or evening for that matter. 8:19, 8:56, 8:13, 8:16, 8:14 Avg= 8:26 Breakfast-banana no problems
Ran sprints on the treadmill tonight. Ran .25 at 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, 10.0, 10.0
