| 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. :)

| | 9.31 average. Felt good, beautiful morning, not too hot. Now on to weights and stupid planks. Which are totally hard and I always end up laughing at myself for being so weak! I know I will get stronger, but Im blaming kids {specifically C-sections} for having zero muscle there. And I will not admit that it would have anything to do with the fact that I haven't done sit ups in years. happy running to you. | |

9.45 avg. Felt pretty good starting out. Ran up Falcon Way otherwise known as the street I hate. My calf started to hurt toward the top of Falcon and so I stopped and stretched for a few seconds and then ran down NewCastle, felt it the whole way down but kept going anyway. I told Stac, I cant explain the pain except for saying it feels like my calf has hemroids. Its like a burning and I cant pinpoint the exact place it hurts. Anyway, ordered new shoes yesterday, hopefully that might help a little. I dont know if thats the issue, but it cant hurt to try. I will R.I.C.E. today as much as I can and head out again tomorrow. Still, the run felt good. | |

| | wow. A 9.50 avg. Which is shocking to me bc I felt like we were going so slow. I thought for sure it would be at best 10.30. I was dragging today, felt tired. So was Stacie. Got home from my daughters dance recital and was limping a bit so I elevated my leg to sleep last night, wrapped it and iced it. It felt pretty good getting out of bed but is burning again right now. Now I will do SP {stupid planks} and some upper body weights. Im going to avoid doing my lower body today and hope that my leg will feel better. | |

| | Dragging bad today. Luckily Stacie was feeling the exact same way so we were both on the same level. 10.15 avg. Which is better than I thought It was going to be considering how we both felt. At one point Stacie said "I feel like we are running in place." But it was a beautiful morning, a little bit warm, its time to break out the tank tops. Going to a family reunion in Provo all day..lucky me. Happy Running. | |
