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. :)

| | Met Erin at the light at 7:30. Ran up NC around the buffalo, down AC and up Highland. Felt pretty good. I was tired, not much sleep last night so I didn't think I would feel as good as I did. Beautiful day! Good day to get high! | |

| | Got up at 6:05 to run with Erin and she had texted to ask if we could go later bc of her baby. So I went back to sleep and when I got up at 7:30 to get the kids ready, she had left me a text to just go without her. Ugh. Then I was mad I didn't just go earlier. Oh well. I left around 8:30, it started out not being too hot and I felt good the first 3 miles. Then I started to lose steam as it heated up and the sun was beating down on me. Also I didn't want to do the usual NC so I went South on Highland, past Home Depot, down in front of Waterford and back up around falcon to home. It was exactly 5 miles but it seemed a lot longer. You would think a new route would go by faster but it seemed like it took forever. Anyway..I guess I'm complaining a lot aren't I. Sorry. Have to mow the lawn and clean the house since its been neglected all weekend. It's all good. At least the kids are out of my hair for at least 1 more week! Maybe I will take a nap later just bc I can. Get High | |

| | Straight up NC, on the trail and back down. Erin is getting stronger. Blonde girl passed us on the trail and said "C'mon ladies, High five!" and we gave her a high five, then she said "Have a good day!" Nice friendly girl. I was thinking, why couldn't my brother in law marry her instead of who he did? I like friendly people with no agenda. Get High peeps! | |

| | Left at 4:40 again. Did the same route as last time except we ran along 13th after the round-about to the end and then turned back around and ran for 10 more min. I say 10 min. bc I left my freaking garmin at home!! aaahhhhh! I felt so naked. But I knew where 8.5 was so I think we did a pretty good job at making it 12 without knowing for positive. Pretty uneventful run until the end where my EPL {emergency poo light} went on. I had to run to the bushes!! That has NEVER happened to me before and I debated putting it on the blog. TMI reasons. But I also feel it to be a right of passage as a runner. Maybe I'm wrong in that but it seems like it should get the same recognition as losing your first toenail. Anyway..Sorry about this entry. Get High anyway..its all good. | |
