Running Accomplishments:

I have placed in the top three of my age group in the Valley of Fire half marathon twice I believe. (doing this from memory) I placed 2nd in my age group for the Coyote challenge one year for the 5K. (once more from memory, dont remember the year, gotta look it up.) and ran varsity cross country and track and field in High School. weee! Also ran at Dixie State last season, was the fastest but it was a lovely learning experience and oppertunity!

Short-Term Running Goals:

hmmm, I want to drop my 5K times to 25 minutes and change. 

I want to run the Diamond Valley Half Marathon all the way through comfortably.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Complete a half marathon in under 2 hours. Complete a marathon in under 5 hours.

Actually make it to run the St George marathon. (have planned on it but never really set my sights high and trained well to be confident enough to do it. One day...in my life-time hence long-term...I want to Boston Qualify. =) one day. ;-)

keep running strong and consistantly

Personal:

 my family is pretty much the most amazingest you can ever meet. (no biases of course lol) st george is super awesome and i love it. I love running, its fun but also relaxing and it truly does help you mentally physically and any other way you need. =)

4.390.004.39

okay, check me out. I ran more today than yesterday...and it is only 3 minutes slower. =P I did the 4.39 miles in 50:53. When i hit the 3.25 I checked my time to see how it compared to yesterdays run and...I was at 40 or something like that, i think but yeah, I did better.

 here are the splits. mile 1- 10:33; 2- 12:37; 3-12:07; 4-11:22; and my .39-4:13

The first mile was down hill and flat. The second and part of the third were alllll up hill. =(  and then the rest of the third and the fourth were down hill and a flat. =)  So...I definitely went a bit fast on the first one looking at the other times. As far as how I felt, my right arch and knee were aching a bit. I think I might need to get new shoes. =D My quads complained but other than that...it was good. So, go me!
