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: |

| The plan was to do pregressive 2 mile repeats but apparently my body wanted to do soething different. I did 2.25 warm up. The 3x2 miles (6:00,5:57)(6:00,5:55)(5:57, 5:55) 2.5 mile cool down. All well, frist workout back since 4 days off I am happy about it. =) Oh and 3mins rest inbetween sets.

| All I had time to run today was 6miles pushing the double stroller..benefit of not marathon training I didn't mind the shorter mileage day. Had a full day of massages ahead of me and last achievement day activity. Busy day.

| I wanted 10x1000m at half marathon pace with 1 min rest inbetween. I've been thinking I haven't been pushing myself hard for a while. So instead of trying the times I know I would try to push a little harder this time. Normally I go 3:37 for a 1000m and last time I actually did them at 3:36 really comfortably. I kept waiting for the pain to hit but it never did. So this time I wanted to try 3:32. I did it! I mostly stayed at 3:32 to 3:33. I ended up with 9, not wanting to completely kill myself my first week back and the week before my half. I was really suprised, excited, and thrilled. I am looking forward to faster workouts again.

| Usually when we run 2 hrs on the trails we count it as 15 but there was a lot of climbing so i am going to say 14 miles. Snow Basin was gorgeous! It was nice for the first time to not rush home or rush to run. We all had husbands home that day and we all got to just enjoy a different run. A little longer then my normal race taper but I figured we went really easy and I could use along run.

| warmup 2 miles. 5 miles tempo (5:43, 6:00 (hill) 5:48, 5:48, 6:00) 2.25 cool down. Nervous about racing so I think I held back last mile to play it safe. Felt okay not as good as I thought. Shoulders really tired from massaging.

| Utah Valley Half Race. Disappointed with time. i have never been one to have run easy in a race. I always race and can honestly say I tried hard. 1:20 is a great time but not for me and I was truly disappointed with my time. I felt good until 8 miles and then struggled a little with a cramp trying to slow pace a little so it would go away...I know what happens if I don't d that. Then I could never regain on the leader but I tried until the very end to catch so this was an improvement. Then I saw my time and my heart sunk because I felt like I was running a good time even though I forgot my watch so I had no clue what my time was. At least I can say I did my best and I can only improve from here. There are a few things I need to do better to run better and one of the biggest things is sleep.
