| Member Since: Mar 24, 2009 Gender: Female Goal Type: Marathon Finish Running Accomplishments: My first 1/2 Aug. 9, 2008 2:16.12
2008- I ran a 10K and a couple of 5K's I guess you could say I'm a newborn runner.
2009- Finished the Hobble Creek 1/2 and the Provo River 1/2 And have done 3 more 5k's
2010 Got my PR with the Salt Lake City 1/2 marathon!!
2010 Ran my first marathon!! TOU! Woo Woo!
2011 ran the Salt Lake 1/2 with my brother. Then a few 5k's
2012 Salmon Marathon
Short-Term Running Goals: Maybe run a few more marathons?? Stay healthy, motivated and consistent. Races are fun, but unlike the hokey pokey, its not what its all about for me. Its about health, sanity and feeling great about myself bc I can call myself a runner. :)

| | It is deceivingly cold out there. Holy crap. I was wearing capris, long sleeve shirt, jacket and a headband for my ears. I got to the top of NC and ran into Erin. Fun! So I ran back down with her. Its been a long time since I have run with Erin. She is going to do the Salmon so I'll be training with her. I'm really happy about that bc it will be a lot easier for me to run with someone. Much more motivating and fun, especially on the long runs. Felt good today. No regrets |

| | My BT {butt/thigh} hurts today. Not sure what I did yesterday to flare it up again. Guess I'll do some yoga. Finally a sunny day that is warm and with very little wind. More like a gentle breeze. Felt good outside, run felt okay. No regrets |

| | Woke up all anxiety'ed out for some reason. Three miles. Pressed for time. Going out of town tomorrow to St. George with the masses. Came home from the run and my youngest had packed his own bag. I wonder what's in there. I imagine all the important things like his toy sharks and action figures. Wonder if he packed any clothes? 9:45avg. Felt pretty good. light wind, no regrets. |

| | Felt like crap. I think I need to detox my body from all of the crap I've been eating my whole life. My stomach does not do well with so many things. I need a re-do. Had to change my blog name bc I realized that I actually do have regrets with my runs. So I'm not being honest. However, by saying "Let's get high" {without drugs} Obviously I'm speaking of a runners high. Bc no matter what kind of run you have, good or bad, you come back with a high. Mild or Great, but still a high. So LET'S GET HIGH! |

| | On a scale of one to suckish this run was a suckish. I sweat but that's probably just bc its hot outside. Yesterday, aside from the two corn tortillas I had for dinner, I ate only protein. I thought today would feel better bc of that but I was wrong. I'm going to do some squats, lunges, biceps and triceps weights bc my relief society arms are getting extremely relief society-ish. It's bad. Anyway, only a mild high today. |

| | After 2 miles I could see that today's run was just going to be a repeat of the last two days, so I decided to run to Flat Iron and do hill repeats. It woke my body up, kicked my butt and made me tired. Moderate to fairly good high. Let's get high. |

| | I wore a long sleeve shirt and a jacket. Had to ditch the jacket but was wishing I had a headband over my ears. Windy, cloudy, cool looking sky, especially toward the mountains. We live in such a beautiful state. moderate high. LGH |

| | Had ortho apts. early this a.m. so I ran later. By the time I went out it was raining pretty hard. Felt good though. My sis was at my moms so I ran over there. I was going to run home but by the time we left, it was pouring and I was freezing from wet clothes. Felt good though. Good High. LGH |

| | Feeling a little tired today. I had to sprint across the street to beat the light and that felt good. So I did sprint intervals the rest of the run, felt great. Turned into a pretty good high! |

| | Had to get up early for a few reasons. 1. the heat 2. I have to start training my body to do this. My body was like "No, you dingdong! I don't function this early!" and my head was like "Oh no you don't! Don't choo throw attitude with me young lady..we have work to do!" and my body was like "uh uh! my head hurts and my brain is numb and you are a jerk!" and my mind was like "shut up!" and we fought for awhile and then we saw Stacie! Hooray! She saved us both. Ran with her for awhile and then came home. She kept going. Thanks Stacie for running with me for awhile. It was fun. The sky was pink and pretty when I first got out there. Beautiful morning. And as hard as that is to get up, I never regret it when I do so that's nice. Busy day, SAVE THE DAY 5K THIS SATURDAY 8:00AM REGISTRATION! COME EARLY IF YOU WANT YOUR SHIRT SIZE! I'M EXCITED!! PRAY FOR NO RAIN! |
