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!

Race: Utah Summer Games 10K (6.2 Miles) 00:45:29, Place in age division: 1

Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Crosstraining miles	Total Miles
0.00	0.00	6.20	0.00	0.00	6.20

I love the Cedar City course! It is a PR for me! I registered in the Clydesdale division (female 39 and under) and got 1st place overall--breaking the course record in that category!!!

I was able to meet a couple of the bloggers--WildBull and Dustin. There was quite a few bloggers in attendance.

Splits:

1- 7:31

2- 7:08

3- 7:21

4- 7:23

5- 7:21

6- 7:15

.2- 1:30 Coach yelled at me to push it to the end. I felt like puking. I was glad to cross the finish line.

I guess technically it's a 5K PR as well. My best 5k is 22:59, but both halves of this race I ran in 22:45, so that's a double bonus!

Coach did great. He ran a 37:40, and his third year in a row getting gold in his age group. Marie on the blog did a PR as well: 44:33. We are all very happy with how we raced today! This is when all that hard work and training we do throughout the year really pays off.

2 minute PR improvement is huge! Great job! Nice double bonus. I'm really curious what will happen on your 5K tomorrow.

Great job Christina! That is such a big PR. You should be able to PR in both distances again this year. Just the experience of this race will give you the confidence to race faster next time. Impressive to get even splits too.

Chis crashed the course, 500 commando points for the age div. win and PR, your last mile split, great.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out
