Maintain good racing weight.
Long-Term Running Goals: Maintain good racing weight but keep running fun! And helping others to believe in themselves.
Keep improving each year for as long as I can.
Win each age category for St. George marathon until I am really old.
Personal: I am married to Nathan Long and have two cute boys. I enjoy being a mom but running keeps me sane.=) Running is my passion and always will be. I was asked by a friend what I was training for and I said to be skinny. She looked at me (as we just finished 3 hard one mile repeats after I just got done having two crowns put in) and said, "No one trains that hard to be skinny." I said, "I do." To me working out is fun! I love pushing my body to new limits. I think if I had to do just mileage I would go crazy! Favorite Blogs: |

| Good tempo with Angie and Amy. Started on bonneville terrace and ended on Old post almost to 4600. Tempo felt really good. I think the clean air helps a lot and good company. Only tempo 4 miles but felt like I could have done more so was really happy with it. (5:55, 6:04 (hills) 5:45, 5:45)
Double back 5 miles on TM during naptime.

| Had a fever last night of 103.5 but luckily it broke around 1am so I was able to get in somewhat of a long run. Not as long as I was hoping for or as fast since we got new snow fall during the night causing the roads to be slick. Very enjoyable run with Amy, Angie, and Katie.

| Loved running in the warm sun of Southern California. Cramped last 1.5 I think from not enough water water fluids after having the fever for 2days and the long run. Decided not to double and let body recover. Best recovery? The beach!

| I am ashamed to admit 0, but did 64mins of insanity max intervals and nearly died. Pretty sure I did 90% of it wrong! Nice change though!

| Did 13 miles easy before church listening to LDS hymns on pandora. I couldn't believe the amount of people that were out running until i realized I was on the course of the half that was the following weekend. Beautiful day perfect scenery.

| Ran 4 miles while my 3.5 year old bike. Had to help a little since it was pretty long gradual 2nd mile hill. I had to sprint to stay up with him back though. It was nice to run while he biked next to me. Will be doing that a lot more.

| Did a 7 mile run on a more flat terrain. Pushed last half back and really pushed last 2 miles.Felt tired when I started but it helped having music. I think it's funny that since I ran at the end of the day...after moving a bunch of storage stuff...and feeling wiped...I ran faster than I have been all week. I think i am finally completely over the flu. Yea!

| Drove back from California Thursday morning and turned around and drove back to St. George Friday afternoon. Let me tell you if you have not done this race I highly recommend it! I loved it! Not only was it great competition but no buses, no drop off bags start and finish at the same place and the course was awesome!
Course- up and down. You were rewarded for every climb and it had a good climb at mile 6 but had a great drop at mile 7. Finish chute was pretty short which I think is a plus unlike TOU half which feels forever away.
Warmed up 2 miles with Amy Cook and did some strides.
Ran the first 6.5 miles with Kassi Harmon...well she waited for me until then....she is so nice.=) Not only did she do that but she knew I was going to get gatoraid and kindly moved out of the way so I could grab one. After she got so far ahead I never got any further behind and every effort I made to catch her she matched...unknowingly of course being ahead at that point...so I never caught up to her again. I took 2nd with 1:19:22 which put me 27 seconds behind. I feel good about this time due to the fact I had to taper so early with being sick and trying not to make running a priority while visiting family. I feel bad that I couldn't have been better competition for Kassi but hopefully next time I will. I love running with her in races.=)
Conclusion: Highly recommend this one if you have not done it yet and when you hear St. George complain about weather just know everyone from up north-minus Kassi wore short and tanks-thats how warm it is down there.

| Getting sick was a huge bummer to my training and racing but what is done is done. Thanks everyone for the words of encouragment leading into the race it truly helps. I am excited to be healthy and jumping on the band wagon again. Even though I am babysitting 3 kids this week and working I plan on getting mileage back up and kicking it into gear for Ogden Marathon!

| Ran 9.5 miles easy with Missy and Alydia half on really icy trails. No my cup of tea but I enjoyed their company so it was worth it.

| Probably my first workout I have ever dropped out of. Amy was smart to wait an extra day but I was feeling pretty good so I thought I take advantage of having my friend babysit for me. I strted out the workout with Angie doing 600m at 80 pace. The first one was a wake up call to the fact that its been a while since I have done really fast pace and that breathing in freezing cold air doesn't mix. Here is what happened: 1:58, 1:57, 2:00, 2;02, 2:01, 2:01, 77-400m. So I never like to end slower than I started and I can say each one felt like a mile.But hopefully with some rest my next one will be better. Thinking I will not double this week since I am feeling extremely unmotivated to run.

| Awesome Tempo! Felt really good even though I was freezing at the start I was warm during and in a shirt for most of it. 5:38, 5:53, 5:45, 5:48, 5:50. Really happy with the finish. Long slight uphill at the end.
