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!

Did 4xmile repeats. Felt aweful but pushed thru it because not every race feels good! My eating has been terrible which is probably why. 3mins rest in between. (5:34, 5:30, 5:36, 5:32) One of those ones its in the books and just move on. Since I felt so sick decided not to double today.

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.
