Goal Type:

Olympic Trials Qualifier

Running Accomplishments:

High School State Champ in Cross Country and 2 mile. Ran track (5K, 10K, Steeplechase) and cross country at Weber State 2000-2004. PR's: Mile - 5:15 (High School - Boise State Stadium) 2 mile - 11:14 (High School - Boise State Stadium) Steeple Chase - 10:49 5K - 17:01(Hayward Field - Oregon) 10K - 35:30 (Stanford University - California) Half Marathon - 1:19 (Top of Utah 2012) Marathon - 2:49 (Top of Utah 2012)

Short-Term Running Goals:

I'd like to run a sub 1:18 half marathon and a sub 2:43 marathon.

Long-Term Running Goals:

At some point I think it would be pretty awesome to qualify for the marathon Olympic trials, but between injuries and babies I'm not sure if the stars will align for me. Overall, I just want to be healthy enough to continue to get out the door everyday for a run. It keeps me sane and happy. Plus, I love the friends that I get to meet and spend time with because of running - they keep me going.

Personal:

I'm married to Ken who also ran at Weber State (yep, we were one of those track marriages). We now have a 5 year old daughter and a 2 year old son. We live in Ogden and love the Utah running community. We own and operate UtahRunning.com and enjoy sharing our passion for running with others. Besides spending my time being a wife, mother, and runner, I recently finished up a Master's Degree in Exercise Science and I enjoy coaching.

Ran for 55 minutes with Alyssa at 6:30 am. The first half of the climb was a gradual uphill and the air was cold, but warmed up into the run and felt fine. Hamstrings feeling good during, but tight after. Had a massage in the evening...low back and neck really tight and lots of tightness in my stabilizer muscles in my hips. Felt good to get rubbed out, but left my legs feeling fatigued the rest of the evening.
