Half Marathon: 1:46 Prove Half 2005
1:43 Provo Half 2008
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: |

Spin class at the gym for an hour. It's been awhile since I've done one--it wiped me out!

This is only the second time I have run this course. The last time was in 2005. My time then was a 2:02. I wasn't sure what my expectations were for this race. I told myself I'd be happy with a 1:55. I didn't think I would run any faster than that. So, I was pretty happy with my race effort!
It was a pretty cool morning. We had to drop off our extra clothing pretty early on, so I was just in my shorts and singlet for quite awhile before the race started.
1-8:48
2-8:54
3-9:01
4-9:00
5-8:52--ran a conservative 5 miles. I picked it up a bit after mile 7.
6-8:45
7-8:40
8-8:23
9-8:17
10-8:19
11-8:05--My asthma was very noticable. Heavy wheezing from here until the end.
12-8:12
13.1-9:06
All in all, I am very pleased with my race efforts!

Coach, Miriam, and I did three loops around Sugarhouse Park. My quads are a little beat up from the half-marathon, but it felt good to get the lactic acid moving! Bill said he was very pleased with our race performances, and it's just the beginning of the season! I am looking forward to a successful running year. | | Add Comment |

I met with my runamok friends at 6 a.m. We did an eight mile warmup up City Creek canyon. Coach likes us to run a few miles before a 5k. It helps us to warm-up and to get our nerves under control. The usual mentality is "If I run all these miles before a race, I won't do a very fast 5k." So when it comes time to race, mentally you feel like you won't be able to race very fast, so you're more relaxed, and end up doing really well.
This is a PR for me for the course, and the second fastest 5k I've ever run.
1-8:30 (uphill)
2-8:01 (first half of the mile was uphill)
3-6:51 (very fast downhill at the end--we ended in Memory Grove)
We all did really well. Craig Green won the race overall. He got a little gold statue of a runner. It's a really fun race to start off the running season! | | Comments(9) |

| A nice morning St. Patrick's day run! I normally meet with Miriam and Coach to do three loops around Sugarhouse Park. Miriam has an infected foot and Coach is in New York for his father-in-law's funeral. So, I ran four miles in Murray Park and then rushed off to work. | | Add Comment |

I did a core workout followed by a spin class at the gym. The Tuesday morning instructor (Kim) always gives me a challenging workout! | | Add Comment |

I met Renae this morning at the Olympic Oval to do 6 x 200 meter repeats. Since it's spring break, there were no speed skaters there to dodge on the track--so that was nice!
1-39 sec
2-38 sec
3-38 sec
4-36 sec
5-37 sec
6-36 sec
I've never done one in 36 seconds before, so I was pretty excited about that!!
Later on I went to the gym to do 20 minutes on the stairmaster--ouch! | | Comments(2) |

| I did some upper body work and some squats. Then I did a spin class. It was so tough! We did some efficiency work, meaning we'd put more weight on one leg for some of the time. I think I'm taking tomorrow off. I have a feeling I'm going to be sore. I also need to rest up for Saturday's big hill workout in Bountiful. | | Add Comment |

A Bountiful run always means a HILL workout, and that was exactly right. We ran a 14 mile loop which included a 1.7 mile uphill segment. It was a great feeling of accomplishment after we got to the top!
For Dominique's birthday, Andrea brought some cupcakes for us to eat after the run. I don't feel guilty eating stuff like that after such a great run! | | Add Comment |

| I met Coach, Alicia, and Tracy Hansen for 3 loops around Sugarhouse Park. I was still recovering from Saturday's run. I also overdid it on my Easter candy consumption yesterday, so I wasn't feeling on top of my game. | | Comments(2) |

| Today was a core workout followed by 20 minutes on the ellpitical machine. I would have like to have done a spin class, but I woke up too late. I really enjoy sleeping in! | | Add Comment |

My throat really burned when we got done.
That night, I met Andrea, Johnny, Murphy, T-1, T-4, T-2 (so many Tracys!), Walter, Natalie, and Jaxton for hill kills. It was a beautiful night to go running! | | Add Comment |

Upper body workout at the gym, followed by 20 minutes on the elliptical machine.
Last night I really went overboard on my consumption of chocolate. I don't know why--I wasn't even really hungry, but I just kept eating and eating. I need to put a lock on the pantry door! | | Add Comment |

| Spin class at the gym. I don't think I gave it my best effort. I've been pretty tired lately. Maybe a sign of overtraining? I have a tough workout lined up for tomorrow--intervals as well as hill kills. | | Add Comment |

| Interval workout in Taylorsville. We ran 6 x 400m intervals. Then we did six hill kills! I have a hard time waking up on Saturday mornings, but it's always worth it with the quality workouts we do! | | Add Comment |

| I ran one loop around Murray Park. I felt nauseated and tired today, so I decided not to run any more than that. I worked out a lot last week, so I feel like I'm still recovering. | | Add Comment |
