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: |

| | Just not feeling it today. We all got minimal amounts of sleep last night. I've been working on aerobics stuff a lot the last few days. I'm hoping to ride my bike some today and then go to walking group tonight. 1-9:34 2-9:32 |

| | I brought Grant with me today. It was a warmer day out so I think he enjoyed it. We're planning on meeting some friends at the park today so I didn't have a lot of time to run. I accidentally pushed some wrong buttons on my garmin so I'm not quite sure what my times were. 2= 21:05 |

| | Trying to take advantage of the clear roads before winter really hits! Felt a little sluggish most of the time but just happy to be out doing something healthy. My right shin kind of hurt but felt better as the run went on. I still can't believe it's December! Working on aerobics stuff today and then walking group tonight. 1-9:56 (blah) 2-9:29 3-9:34 4-9:26 |

| | I can't believe how warm it is! I took Grant to the park today and considered taking off his coat! I'm loving this, it doesn't feel like Christmas which is a bummer but I'm happy with the fact I can still get out! 1-9:42 2-9:15 3-9:05 |

| | Windy windy run today. It felt good to get out but man I sure felt sluggish and tired. I've been really enjoying my PT stuff (if only I could eat like a real personal trainer!) and I'm hoping all this new info will help me run and train better. 1-9:36 2-9:37 3-9:20 4-9:33 5- 9:25 |

| | Let the marathon training begin. Well hopefully! I'm wanting to attempt the SLC marathon in April...just trying to figure out the money and travel issues....ah I'll worry about that later. I felt strong on my run today. It's weird how on my "sluggish" days and my "strong" days I still manage a poor pace. Such luck!Temps in the 60s and a little windy towards the end but I really enjoyed being on the snowless streets! I'm going to look at running shoes this weekend, holla! 1-9:40 2-9:33 3-8:54 |

| | Day 2 of training. Felt better about my run today. I need to focus on my eating habits. I think that's part of the reason I am not as fast as I'd like to be. 1-9:34 2-8:52 3-8:35 |

| | Today was a busy busy day so I decided to push my run back to tomorrow. My father in-law came into town earlier than expected today and offered to watch Grant while I went running. Good thing-it was FREEZING outside. Windy and the sun was starting to go down, bad combo! I felt like I needed to hurry and get back before the little spawn destroyed too much. I actually really enjoyed this run. 1-8:30 2-8:58 3-8:19 26:35 |

| | Shopping spree in the Luke household! I went an bought a new pair of running shoes. I'm kind of debating my choice but hopefully they'll be okay. I got some New Balance running shoes....we'll see. We also bought a new camera that was a steal of a deal! I'm pretty excited to actually be able to take pictures of my little runner himself! On to the run...my shins started to hurt (wearing my old shoes) around 4.5 so I stretched for a little and they seemed to be fine. I wish wish wish I could get faster. I'm just glad that I'm not totally wiped out when my run is over. I think I'm nervous to speed up for fear of injury. Anyway here's to week 1 of my marathon training! 1-9:06 2-9:13 3-9:33 4-9:11 5-9:32 6-8:38 |

| | I don't have my splits. This run felt good. The bottom of my left foot was kind of hurting so I had to keep adjusting it. |

| | Ran on the treadmill at our apt. I wish there was a fan in there or something. Overall it was fine. |
