Location: Salt Lake City,UT,Salt Lake Member Since: Jul 29, 2008 Gender: Female Goal Type: Half Marathon Finish Running Accomplishments: I ran the St. George Marathon a couple summers ago and at that time I was in very good shape and all I did was run everyday, I'd say I did fairly well in the race. Well, I ran a 5K last Saturday and it was a very rude awakening of how out of shape I have gotten over the past year. I don't want to talk about how slow I ran it, but I have set a goal now to get back in shape. I like running when I'm not huffing and puffing and wanting to die the whole time. I play soccer every week which I love, and go running maybe two times a week. I have been really good at making excuses as to not run lately, not sure what my problem is, but I intend to get better and go everyday. My husband runs too, and of course he is must stronger and faster. I have issues with over competitiveness so I sometimes has a difficult time running with him although I know it pushes me. Short-Term Running Goals: I want to do a the Icebreaker Triathlon next March and do as many 5K's and 10K's as I can until then! Long-Term Running Goals: Eventually I would like to run another marathon and finish in a respectable time. I don't want to just "finish it", but I want to be somewhat fast.:) I want to be active my whole life, even when I'm old and after kids etc... Personal: I am married to my wonderful husband Kyle, going on 9 months. I just quit a very stressful job, and I'm going to start working at a charter school this Fall. I like sports a lot and the outdoors. No kids yet, but I want to start a family fairly soon. |
