| Location: Herriman,UT, Member Since: Oct 02, 2009 Gender: Female Goal Type: Half Marathon Finish Running Accomplishments:
Maybe someday I'll have something noteworthy to post in this section. I have only completed three 5ks and a 5 miler; all at an average pace somewhere in the 9:00-9:30min/mile range Painter's Half 2010 - 2:03:54 Short-Term Running Goals: Painter's Half Marathon - would like to keep an average pace of 9:00min/mile. Painter's Half - Went over my goal and finished in 2:03:54 :( It was my first half though. I had a great time and learned what I need to work on.
Salt Lake Half Marathon - would like to finish in under 2 hours. Long-Term Running Goals: Would like to complete a full marathon in the fall of 2010 and finally conquer the Herriman Hill...to be honest, there are several hills in Herriman I'd love to conquer, but that one for sure! Personal: I am a stay-at-home mother, married and have two young boys. Favorite Blogs: |

| | 3.5 slow miles on the TM this morning. AP of 9:30. I really don't like what happens to my body when I take time off from running. I kept getting side cramps! What is up with that?! I felt like I was running SO slow too. Hopefully by the end of the week I'll be back to normal. I'm trying really hard not to be too discouraged today. |

3.5 miles on the TM again this morning at 9:30 min/mile. I've decided to continue to run this pace and distance until I feel like this pace is comfortable. Before I got sick, I feel like I could run at this pace forever. This morning, I still felt like I was having to really push myself. Maybe it would be easier outside? It was SO cold this morning though!!! |

| | Sadly, nothing to report today. I decided to sleep in after a long interrupted night of sleep, thanks to my kids. I had good intentions to get on the TM tonight, but I just had too much to do! Just one of those days :( |

5 TM miles this morning at an average pace of 9:30. I thought about going outside instead but I didn't think the roads would be clear. I'm sure I would have enjoyed my run a lot more though...the treadmill is getting BORING!!!
Off to play with my 2 year old in the snow! Utah really does have the best snow on earth. I grew up in Virginia and we NEVER had snow like this! |

| | 3.5 miles on the treadmill again - AP 9:30. I probably should have ran these miles a little bit faster since I didn't go as far, but I just wasn't feeling it this morning. I wanted to make sure I did some strength training before my husband left for work too, so I completed P90X "Shoulders & Arms" |

4.75 miles...outside! Yes folks, I braved the bitter cold!!! It actually wasn't too bad if the wind wasn't blowing. As soon as I get my Garmin, I think I might actually go outside more often.
I realized, again, that my body is not used to hills and I need to run them more often so I'm not so intimidated by them! I hate what it does to my already slow pace. Oh well, we all have to start somewhere I guess.
Thanks for the run Kelli! |

| | 3 TM miles at a 2% incline. After realizing how warm it was today, I wish I would have gone outside! I'm going to go make a snowman with my 2 year old before all the snow melts!!! |

| | 5 TM miles this morning. AP 9:30 miles 1-4. Last mile at a pace of 8:35. I finally figured out how to turn on the caption/subtitle thingy on my TV so that has made running on the TM much less mind-numbing. Horray! |

8.5 miles on the good ol' treadmill this evening. AP 9:30.
I contribute this rather long run (well, long for me) to the fact that one my favorite movies, "How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days" was on and for having downloaded some new music onto my Ipod. Otherwise, I would have lost my MIND!!! |

| | 4.25 miles on the icy sidewalks of Logan, UT with my brother. Average pace somewhere around 9:30, last .25 of a mile between 6:55 and 7:15, which surprisingly felt very comfortable...I don't know how long I'd be able to consistently run at that pace, but it was nice knowing that I could for a bit. |

6.5 miles on Christmas morning with my BRAND NEW GARMIN!!! I'm so pumped about this little gadget.
It was only 15 degrees when I left my in-laws house, but after about a mile I was nice and warm. The first mile was all downhill and my pace was about 7:40. Miles 2-5 were relatively flat, with a few hills and I was able to keep an average pace of 8:45. Then the last mile was all uphill and my avg pace dropped to 9:30. I still don't like hills, but I'm getting a little bit better at running them. At least I didn't have to stop and walk!
Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! |

| | 4.5 TM miles at a pace of 8:50 min/mile. I also did four .25 mile sprints at 6:40 min/mile with 2 minute jogs in between. I don't think I have run that fast since elementary school! I ate a handful of jelly bellys before I ran, so I that must have given me the extra energy :) |

| | After being getting very little sleep the last 3 nights, due to my sick 2 year old, I haven't had the energy to do much, let alone run in the cold! But after eating way too much celebrating my anniversary at my favorite restaurant, I had to get out there this morning. Today I got up and ran 3.5 miles at a nice 9:00min/mile pace. That's about all of the energy I have today. Hopefully I'll get in more miles in the last 2 days of this week to make up for all the days I missed! |
