Goal Type:

Marathon Finish

Running Accomplishments:

 I have been running for 3 years now. My parents are the ones who got me into running. My first year I ran Top of Utah and St. George Marathon. Both of which were just over 4 hrs. Last year at St. George I was on for a 3:50 but my body fell apart, I ended up waking up in an ambulance at mile 23. I sure hope this year is better.

 

Hobble Creek half 06- 1:47:19

Art city days 5k- 23:55

Short-Term Running Goals:

 I want a 3:45 this year at St. George- even though finishing would be much better than last year

Long-Term Running Goals:

I would like to get faster and one day do an Iron Man.

Personal:

 I married the love of my life. I am currently in the Nursing program at SLCC, I will be graduating this December, Yeah!! When I am not at school I work for a sports medicine Dr as a medical assistant. My schedule is pretty crazy and I will have to be doing quite a few of my runs in the afternoon or at night after a long day of school and work. I am hoping that this blog will make me more accountable for my runs and help me to get them in.

A few miles in between studying for a big test tomorrow. My breathing was off today- my lungs hurt, forgot to use my inhaler and the weather has been cooler. Now I am back to studying again. O-how I love school.

Bad sleep last night so I didnt get up when my alarm went off. Went to the gym to try and get some faster miles in. Warmed up for 1.5 miles did a mile about 7:50 pace, then .5 mile jog. Then .5 mile fast with .25mile jog- repeat. I did 5-160meter sprints with 80meter jog in-between and then a good cool down. I felt pretty good today. My left leg started to hurt at the very end, I think it was just from pushing harder than normal.

Ohhh slept in till 7am. Oh how nice it is to taper. My left calf is still killing me- I think it is from the speed wok on Wednesday, but I think it should be better by now. I charged my garmin last night but for some reason it didnt charge and was completely dead- had to run back and get my good ol' watch. Tried to do a 3 miles at my 5k pace- my legs were hurting bad, but I figured this was good for me mentally and physically so that I can push through the pain next Saturday. Laps: 7:55-some up hill, 7:45, 7:50-getting tired. 

103:05- 8:07 average

 I think I am going to go get a massage today- my body seems to really need it!
