| Location: North Logan,UT,United States Member Since: Oct 20, 2008 Gender: Female 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. |

| 7 miles at 6 min pace. true, it was on the treadmill so i couldn't slow down, but...i wasn't dead tired afterward. what i thought was funny is that the 10k in this was faster than my college 10k pr. college wasn't a fast time for me (obviously). i also had enough umph to pick it up a little in the last half mile. twas lovely. ran up smithfield canyon after the track meet (go mtn crest!)...ahhhh, so lovely | | Add Comment |

| every day my little sis and i exchange "grati-texts"--we text three things we're grateful for. today, i am grateful i ran in the morning. sooooo so much warmer than the afternoon. this afternoon i had to pity the kids at the track meet racing in glorified nothing-ness covering their young bodies. this morning i was warm and hampered only by the wind, which actually felt somewhat nice (could have been softer, that's why only somewhat nice) because it cooled me off. (i have a habit of running in two long sleeved shirts. haven't kicked the habit this yr yet). anywho, i did a pseudo fartlek thing. 9 blocks hard, 13 blocks, 13 blocks, 9 blocks all w/ easy running in between. strange that's how the roads on the west side broke it up. not 8 and 12 blocks but 9 and 13. oh well, got in an extra .5 miles that way. i was still a bit tired from monday's workout and because i should have run slower yesterday. so i didn't run all out but i did push it. it wasn't easy and i was tired by the end of each and grateful that i didn't do the full 5.5 hard all at once. one more thing. yeah, that notion of 17 being harder than 16. like more than a mile harder (because for some reason that one mile matters a lot)....it's still true for me. | | Add Comment |

| came down to so jo for the weekend. no one's home but me for a while. i'll probably fall asleep in front of the fire (one of my favorite things about my parents' house) and revel in the fact that no one will look at me like i'm weird for it (you all may think i'm weird, but i can't see you so i don't care so much. hee hee). anywho. enjoyed the canal roads. | | Add Comment |

| i know i know, more easy miles by lisa. but tom told me to back off the hard stuff, that i was running too many hard miles. good excuse, hey. anywho, i'd like to do a nice hard run monday so i thought i'd just long a whole slew of miles and then rest up on sunday like i always do. this was two runs, not one. again, on canal roads, which although they feel great on my body are a bit boring after i've run them over and over and over again in just a few days. there are a few different sets of canal roads new my parents' but 38 miles of them in two days is ...plenty. | | Comments(5) |
