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!

Coach and I ran at the Olympic Oval this morning.  We jogged a mile, did 4 x 50 meter sprints, and 4 x 200m sprints.  I had a nice time chatting with him.  He loves how everyone in our group is improving so much.

There were several speedskaters at the Oval from all over the world: Norway, Finland, Japan, and Canada.  Bill said, "I notice you run a little faster when passing those cute blond Norwegian men."  Well, I guess that's one way to get me to PR. ;0)

Tonight I biked with Tracy and Marie on the Jordan River Parkway.  It was a beautiful evening.  We stopped at Emerald Smoothie to get our favorite drink:  the chocolate peanut butter with banana!
