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!!

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. :)

Long-Term Running Goals:

Keep Running and  Never Give up!

Personal:

Married, 4 kids, started running to lose mommy weight and have alone time. Now I run bc of EVERYTHING

strength, sanity, awareness, confidence, attitude, health, peace, life, and Because I CAN

Total Distance
8.00

Went at 6:00am, was a bit cool but once we started running my body warmed up. Stayed with Stacie the whole time even though she had to slow down to wait for me a few times. It was nice just to talk the whole run. Every time the marathon was brought up though, I would feel my heart start to beat faster. I can't think about it. Not until next week. I need to stay chilled as long as I can. Anyway, Nice morning, happy running.

You are right. It is going to be fun. Especially when it's done and we are looking back on it. Then it will be the best of memories. I mean that sincerely. And yes, Happy Running.

I agree, do not think about it. Just enjoy the miles from here on out. And, I promise, as nervous as you will assuredly get the morning of---it ALL goes away the very second you start running every time.

Looking forward to meeting you!
