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!

Man oh man it's getting cold here. It wasn't that bad once I started to run. I was having a lot of knee pain but managed to run the whole time. SLOW.....which is frustrating!

Today I was feeling great while running on the treadmill.....until one of the kid care workers had to come get me because Grant was flippin' out! Sheesh! Oh well atleast I got in a short but enjoyable run. Oh by the way I'm wanting to run a marathon on May 1. Hum....we'll see how that goes. My goal is to just finish it, I would like to beat my previous time (4:13) but really I need to just focus on finishing. Training in the winter will be interesting!

It was 20 below with windchill so....I guess it is officially treadmill season. Lots and lots of wet heavy snow too :( 3 miles at 9:13 pace. Felt good, I don't know how to train for a marathon by just running on the treadmill. Maybe I should reconsider.

6 mile run on the treadmill. My stomach started to hurt at mile 2, it was a weird pain but went away and I actually felt great from about mile 4 on. I needed to get back home or else I would have gone a little longer. Ran 55:15, about a 9:13 pace. I feel that I could have gone faster but I wanted to make sure I got in 6 miles rather than a few faster ones.

7 miles on the treadmill. I wanted to stop after 2 but knew that if I didn't run them tonight I'd have to do it in CO while trying to visit family etc. I ended up loving this run and only stopped at 7 because I needed to get home and pack.
