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!

I met up with my running friends at 7 a.m.  We did a two mile warm up, 10 hill repeats, and a tempo mile.  It was challenging, but I feel so much better that I did it.  It's easier to run when I know other people will be there!

Christina- That was a killer workout! Good job. I think you'll like the resources on the website. I didn't realize that your PRs have all come within the last year or two. That's great. I think the motivation on this website along with our Saturday runs with Bill will help you continue to reach some great PRs this year.

I haven't run since Saturday--due to holidays and a cold :-( .  I expect to be back at it soon!
