| Location: Payson,Ut,USA Member Since: Jun 23, 2008 Gender: Female Goal Type: Marathon Finish Running Accomplishments: 2006 Salt Lake Half-Marathon (2:23; my first one); 2006 Hobblecreek Half (2:09); 2006 St. George Marathon (My first marathon! Finishing was the goal, and I'm happy to say that I wasn't even close to the last one!); 2008 Provo Riverwoods 10 miler (1:49); 2008 Hobblecreek Half Marathon 2:07. Short-Term Running Goals: March 2009 Moab Half Marathon; May 2009 Ogden Marathon Goal: 4:30; 2009 Hobblecreek Half 2:00
2009 Run the St. George Marathon or the Top of Utah Marathon. Long-Term Running Goals: Keep running as a priority in my life. I initially started running because I told myself "there are no fat runners" (not meaning to offend anyone--just needed something to help me get fit after 4 babies!) Then I started discovering not only the health benefits of running but the psychological benefits! These were the icing on the cake! Running makes me happy, it makes me funner, it makes me feel so much better about myself, etc., etc.. There are way too many benefits to ever give up! I may never win a race, but I am happy and make life better for my family because of this little piece of time I take for myself! Personal: I've been married for 18 years and have 4 fabulously cute boys (15, 12, 10, 6). I love running, reading, volleyball, scuba diving, gardening, cooking, and hanging out with my family.

Moab Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 02:15:56 | |
This was my first time running Moab Half Marathon. It ended up being a lot harder than I anticipated. I think I was just having a bad race day inspite of all the things I did to prepare. Maybe my run the day before was bad--I don't know. I just felt so tired for the last 5 miles. |

| | My wagon was dragging for this run too! What is the matter with me????? I feel like I'm going backwards instead of forwards with my running progress! |

After feeling "burned out" with running, I decided to take a day and do something else. 40 minutes of Yoga and Belly Dancing did the trick. My legs feel tired and I'm happy to be inside my warm house. Maybe I'll do some weights tonight.
Also did 20 pushups and 30 situps. Not many, but something! |
