Personal:
David and I have been married since 2003, we've lived in AZ, UT (BYU, Health Science), WI and now we're back to our roots in CO. We have a little boy, Grant, who was born in 2009. I have never been a runner but like to pretend I am! I'm currently teaching aerobics in my church group and working on becoming a certified Personal Trainer through NASM. I'm pretty much obsessed with Full House, DQ Blizzards and Bajio. Sadly I don't have enough of these in my life! Favorite Blogs: |

| | Took Grant out in the stroller. He loved it! It's been so nice, I hope it stays that way! Do you ever have those runs where you just keep looking at your watch like every .10 miles? Yep that was today! 1-10:04 2-9:41 3-9:54 4-9:38 |

Nine LOOONG miles pushing Grant in the stroller! Yep the stroller! It was kind of windy...felt a LOT more windy than it probably was! Grant was such a trooper, he was a little sad when we passed by the kids at the playground but nothing a little box of raisins couldn't fix! These times are beyond pathetic but I don't even care one bit! 1-10:17 2-10:01 3-10:29 4-10:25 5-10:33 6-10:48 7-10:42 8-10:50 9-10:16

Aerobics this morning...killer and then a 3 mile run on the treadmill. Just signed up for UV MARATHON!!! I feel like I'm about to get struck with knee pain or shin splints now that I just paid all the money! |

| | I did 7 miles with Grant in the stroller. It took like an hour longer because we had to stop and pet every dog this side of the Mississippi! I saw David's car drive by and decided to run back home and drop Grant off so I could finish the last 3 miles. Can you tell which miles I didn't have Grant? hum....me neither! I wish I could get faster! 1-10:19 2-10:04 3-9:55 4-9:52 5-10:02 6-10:22 7-9:49 8-9:31 9-9:42 10-9:00 |

| | Got up at 6:30 today to make sure I could get my run in before I had to be at the church. It was pretty chilly but it could have been worse. We spent the day at the zoo-we had a great time! 1-9:06 2-8:46 3-8:54 |

| | Had my second interview at 24 Hour Fitness today! I would LOVE the opportunity to work there but they are wanting to hire full-time so I'd be shocked if I actually got the job. Oh well, it will all work out, it always does! Took Grant out for a quick 3 mile run-he zonked out about 5 minutes into it. Lucky for me he is still sleeping in his crib....knock on wood! On my run my ipod pooped out and my Garmin was off a little. I'm planning on lifting/core work tonight and also getting things ready for aerobics this week-new routines! |

Took Grant out with me. He only lasted 3 miles---we passed by a park with lots of kids so of course he wanted to go play instead. David met us at the park and I was able to finish my run while the boys played. 1-9:46 2-9:36 3-10:11 4-9:13 5-8:38 I only had time for 15 mins on the bike tonight.

| | I GOT A JOB.....kind of. 24 Hour wants to hire me but they can't bring me on until June. I could try another branch but there isn't anything terribly close and I really like the gym I originally interviewed with. I might just do my own thing for a while and see what happens when June hits! I'm really excited to get started! 1-9:08 2-8:44 3-8:32 |

| | We headed up to Reunion as a family for this run. David and Grant played at the park while I ran. I felt like I cheated- I ran 3 miles then took a 3 min break to watch Grant/drink some gaterade, ran 3 more took another break. Got up to 8.5 miles then met up with David and Grant and we drove back to our neighborhood where I finished up. I hurt so bad. That ride in the car made me TIGHT! While on vacation I ate horrible, slept horrible and didn't drink enough water. I feel good about my times today but I wish I wouldn't have stopped so much. I need to start stretchign my hips and hammies more. Oh and tighten up those bun cakes! There is a half this weekend that I would really like to do and see how my pace is. Just woke up from a nap with David. It felt so great to have all 3 of asleep at the same time!!! Off to play..... 1-8:46 2-8:31 3-8:47 4-9:06 5-9:08 6-8:58 7-8:48 8-9:10 9-9:17 10-9:28 (I was a mess these 2 miles!!!) 11-9:27 12-9:03 |
