| 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. :)

| | did an easy 2 and then a hilly more difficult 2 and then a flat back to home. Was good but Erin ditched out again and im getting worried for her. She hasnt run with me since last tuesday and our 1/2 is next weekend. I know she will be able to do it, I just hope she doesnt bonk out too bad like I did last year. I hope I dont bonk out this year! | |

| | Meant to go 6 today but my "runs" woke me up at 5:30 am again and so by 6:15 I thought I felt good enough to go and I didnt get as far as I had hoped bc I began to feel nauseous. Becca and Erin came today and Becca was having tailbone issues from an injury so needless to say, our intentions were good but it just didnt work out that way today. I guess I should be grateful I got in that at least. I dont have time to be feeling sick right now, ive got to be training. Im nervous, but I guess there isnt much I can do about it now is there? I will try yoga and strength training this afternoon. | |

| | Ran along 7th east again. Erin and Becca came, Becca did 8 and Erin and I did 10. I felt great until 7 and then my stomache started to bug me so I slowed down considerably. I started having bad mental thoughts and then at mile 8 two guys ran up along side of me and started talking, they were running 15 and had alot of energy so after running with them for just a few minutes, I got a bit of a second wind. I was happy bc I thought if I feel like this at only mile 7 next week, im going to have a hard time. I know its so mental, so I just started trying to have positive thoughts and then suddenly I was back at my car. Anyway, Im a little nervous bc if I run like I did today, im only going to knock about 3 minutes off of my time and I wanted to do better than that. I hate that I care about time now, it used to be just about finishing. Now all of the sudden I have all these expectations for myself and Its too much pressure!!aaahhhh! | |
