Location: Payson,Ut,USA 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) Short-Term Running Goals: 2008 Run the Hobblecreek Half in 2:0 or less.
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.
