Goal Type:

Local Elite

Running Accomplishments:

Marathon PR: 2:45, St. George 2007

Half-marathon PR: 1:21, Moab 2007

Recent races: St. George Marathon, Olympic Trials Marathon, Moab 5 miler. 

Short-Term Running Goals:

I want to run faster. I'd like to win a race or two. I want to smarter and harder and increase my mileage without increasing my injuries. 

I'd also like to keep up with this and my other blog. You can check it out at novicexpert.blogspot.com. I don't keep track of my workouts there (just random thoughts on running), so the two don't really interfere.  

Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to win at least one marathon, make a better showing at the next Olympic Trials, try a few ultra-marathons and finish a 100-miler.

Personal:

I lead a simple life. I teach a couple of times a week and run. A lot. I also climb and ski (both snow and water) whenever I get a chance.  I think I'm addicted to sunshine.

lovely easy run this morning. i was freezing (becoming a wimp as we've had some warm days this month) and finally warmed up as i was...oh maybe two miles from home. figures.

 anywho, ran 5 hard on the treadmill this pm at 6 min pace. last week i did six mile repeats at or below 6 so i thought this week's wouldn't be that bad. it was a bit tougher than i thought but not completely draining. i could have run farther. will add more to that pace next week or maybe on friday. 

as a side note this was the phone call i got today

Lisa: hello

Beth (older sister): hi, Addie wants to tell you something. (turning head away from phone, Addie, come tell lisa)

Addie (4 yr old niece): laughing/giggling uncontrollably in the background. no you tell her. laughs more. (after a moment of banter between mother and daughter my sister continued to me)..

Beth: addies says 'all the race tracks are broken'

lisa (confused): oh, i'm so sad

Addie (in the background and giggling) April Fools!

Beth: april fools. she made that up herself.

I love my niece.  she later told me her parents had never got married, told my mother (a bookworm) that barnes and noble was closing and told her mother (beth) that the toilet over flowed. she also put syran wrap on the toilet (but missed the point of it because she attached it there with postage stamps). what a hoot.
