Marathon: 3:55:16 St. George 2006 Short-Term Running Goals: I want to set some new PRs this year. Personal: I started running in 2001. My first 5K was the Salt Lake Classic that year. I ran it in just under 33 minutes. I was excited that I could run the whole distance. My dad and I joked around about doing a marathon, but then we decided, "Why joke about it when we could actually do one?" We trained for the Top of Utah marathon the next year and ran it in 5:38. It was such a great feeling of accomplishment!
It's been fun to see how I've improved over the years. It's been such a blessing in my life to have met so many other running friends and to train under such a dedicated and selfless Coach (Bill Schmid). I hope to keep improving and thriving in the great sport of running! Favorite Blogs: |

| I ran at the Olympic Oval and basically just covered the distance. I've been out with strep for a week or so, so just taking it easy. | | Add Comment |

| I met Miriam at Murray Park for a 5 miler. It felt like a resistance workout since we ran through snow and dodged ice sheets on the road! | | Add Comment |

| I slept all day since I'm working graveyards this week. I went to a spin class in the evening that lasted about an hour. I did some ab work and upper body weight lifting as well. | | Add Comment |

We did a series of 10 sprints and 10 hill repeats. I did a spin class on Thursday night, and boy, do my legs ache! It had been awhile since I had done one.
My exercise-induced asthma was making it difficult to run well this morning. I even used an inhaler, but I was wheezing like crazy. It is so frustrating!!!

Miriam and I ran around Murray Park and through some neighborhoods. I felt like I could breathe okay, better than on Saturday. I like running in the morning since I go to work at noon on Mondays.

I did some upper body work at the gym and then worked out on the elliptical trainer for 20 minutes. I like to get some crosstraining in during the winter time. | | Comments(1) |

This facility is mostly used by the speed skaters. They show up around 8:00 in the morning to begin their training. However, we notice that many of them congregate to the inside lane of the track to stretch, visit, read the newspaper, etc. They stand approx 15 feet away from the finish line. We are constantly dodging them and running around them as we near the end of each repeat. It is a little frustrating, since we are doing these for time, and I am so out of breath that I can't even yell "in-coming!". I've come close to a collision a few times. | | Comments(3) |

I woke up late, so I didn't get a chance to run.
I went to the theater to watch "The Spirit of the Marathon." It's a documentary about five different people training for the 2005 Chicago Marathon. Very inspiring! | | Comments(1) |

This morning, I did an upper body workout at the gym, then used the elliptical machine for 20 minutes.
Then I went to bed! Graveyard shift is a challenge sometimes.

We met up at Ruth's Diner to run up Emigration Canyon. I ran to the intersection at the bottom of Little Mountain. Then I turned around and headed back to Ruth's Diner. It has been awhile since I've run this many miles. I stretched my legs afterwards. They are still a little tender.
We talked about our upcoming race schedules, and training for the Wasatch Back Relay. Our next race will be the Leprachaun Lope 5K in March. That is always a fun one. There is usually a speedwalker who enters, and he wears all green. He walks at about a 9 1/2 min/mile pace! He beats a lot of the runners who enter.
Afterwards, I went shopping at Kohl's since they had 80% sales on their clothing. I was pretty tired from being up all night, but you can't beat such great deals! | | Add Comment |

I met Coach and Miriam at Sugarhouse Park. We ran the park loop three times. It was pretty windy, but manageable. It's not until I got home that the storm hit!! It was a total white-out.
As I was driving to work later in the afternoon, I got in a car accident. :-( Thank goodness no one was hurt. The car that I wrecked with needs a new bumper now. I got the citation, so I'll wait to see how much it is before I decide whether or not to go through the insurance. Everyone--BE CAREFUL when driving in these hideous snow conditions!!!! | | Comments(2) |

I did an upper body weight workout at the gym, then 20 minutes on the elliptical. I didn't want to push too hard today, since tomorrow will be a speed workout.
I slept 9 1/2 hours last night....it was much needed! | | Add Comment |

I met Coach, Renae, and Marie at the Oval for 6 x 200 m sprints. 1- 42 seconds 2- 41 seconds 3- 40 seconds 4- 41 seconds 5- 40 seconds 6- 38 seconds I didn't realize I had a 38 second interval in me after all of that. I had a tough time getting out of bed. I didn't fall asleep until 2 a.m. and I meet them at 7:30. But, I know if I don't wake up and work out with them, that I won't do it on my own. I met Tracy and Jude (Coach's wife) for lunch at the Himilayan Kitchen for Jude's birthday. It is Indian food. It was excellent. I was pretty hungry after my run this morning.
