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!

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.
