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!

Another PR for me!  I wasn't sure how I'd do after running the 10k yesterday.  My legs were a little stiff, but seemed to be fine during the race. 

1- 7:09

2- 7:01

3- 6:54

.1- 0:45  

Coach was there pushing me to kick it in at the end.  I had a good sprint, thanks to all those 200m repeats we do!
