1/2 Marathon PR: 1:37 (2007 Provo River) Short-Term Running Goals: Get in killer shape. Train in the winter and run some spring 1/2 marathons before the Ragnar Relay races. Personal: I've been running for most of my life. I ran track in college and got into long distance running a few years ago. I did my first marathon at L.A. in 2006.
I work full time as a race director for the Ragnar Relay team. We put on the Wasatch Back Relay, along with 3 other races each year in Minnesota, Washington, and Arizona. It's a challenging job- especially in the summer when so much travel is required.
Craig, my long-time training partner, has been trying to get me to join this site for a while. He keeps talking about Sasha, the "running prophet". So here I am.
I'm married (Trevor) and have a 3 year old boy (Jackson). Favorite Blogs: |

I am just starting with this blog today. I have been training for marathons for the last four years, but I have not seen as much improvement as I had expected. Through some friends, I heard about this site and have decided to run according to Sasha's standards, which is 6 times a week (I had been running the three times a week program, a hill workout, speed workout and long distance run). I started running 6 days a week two weeks ago at 3 miles a day and I have increased this week to four miles a day.
Today I met with my personal trainer this morning for an hour, then ran on the treadmill for four miles. I increased the incline to 2% and ran at a 8:00 to 7:30 pace. I hate treadmills, but I was in a hurry to get to work so I had to give in and do it.

Ran four miles today. Not feeling well, some sort of head cold, sore throat and just all around yuck. I have a 10 mile run tomorrow with a group, I hope I don't feel worse tomorrow.
My goal this year is to run 3:20 at the San Diego Rock-n-Roll Marathon (June 1st). Not sure if I have enough time from now until then to make that sort of improvement. Also, in looking at my half marathon times (1:37) versus other runner's half marathon times, it seems I should be running my marathons faster than 3:40.

Easy Saturday run. It took me longer to warm-up than normal, about four or five miles. It was really warm at 7am, then the storm moved in and the wind picked up, a few times it felt like we were running in place because the wind was blowing us back so hard.

| Ran from my house to Liberty Park (around twice) and back. Once again, seemed like I wasn't really warmed-up until I was about 3.5 miles in and then I was almost home. | | Comments(1) |

Ran at the gym before hitting the weights with my personal trainer. I really hate the treadmill. The workout with my personal trainer was intense and I left with shaky legs and arms. In between all sets he had me run, which really kept my heartrate up. Good times.

I had to miss Craig's trail run on today as I was up all night with a sick three-year-old and my husband had a fishing trip planned for that morning. I ended up going out for an 8 mile run on my own around the Sugarhouse area. It was a great day weather wise, air quality not so much.
I felt pretty good, but my calf and quads are still sore from the gym the other day (obviously I hit the weights a little too hard). It took quite a long time for my sore muscles to warm up and get in the groove. | | Comments(1) |

I met with my personal trainer this morning for an hour. We did a tough circuit workout on legs and a little bit of cardio. It was so warm outside, so I drove home and ran to Liberty Park and back to get in 4 miles. What a great morning, I couldn't believe it was still dark when I got home from running.
The run felt great, but my legs were tired from the workout at the gym. | | Comments(2) |
