| Location: So. Jordan,UT,USA Member Since: May 12, 2008 Gender: Female Goal Type: Marathon Finish Running Accomplishments: St.George marathon 2009 - 3:34:07. It was a PR on my 11th time running St. George.
Short-Term Running Goals: Run St. George in under 3:30; be in the top 3 in my age group Long-Term Running Goals: Stay strong, run well for many more years. Still set PR's in my 50's.
Learn how to run more relaxed and efficient. Personal: I'm married with four children. I run with a group called the Bingham Butt-Kickers, a really fun group of people that gets me out running early on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and sometimes Saturdays. I recently found out that I've been running with poor form for many years, which has probably contributed to some nagging aches and pains I've had for years. One of my big goals now is to be able to run with better form and to have running feel more effortless. I hope this won't take too many years to achieve! |

| | I missed running with the group today because I need to let my hammys heal before I can run again. I'm one of those lucky runners that seem to always get injuries that take a long time to heal. My PT said tendon injuries are the hardest to heal because tendons don't get a good blood supply going to them, to they take longer to heal than say a muscle or something that does get a lot of blood. So who knows how long I'll be out. I know from sad experience if I don't take the time off now and let things heal up, it will just stay a nagging injury and will just keep on bugging me, and eventually I will have to take time off, so I might as well do it now. I will blog my cross-training just so I can keep track of what I do. So all you BBK's, I'll miss you, but hopefully when I come back I'll be a healthier and happier runner. You guys stay healthy and happy!! | | Comments(1) |
| | I went to the SJ Rec Center and spent 30 minutes on the stair stepper, then 30 minutes on the elliptical. I'm trying to do 5Ks on the elliptical, similar to what I do on a treamill. I think what I can do on the elliptical would be what I could do on a treadmill. Right now with resistance set to 10 it takes me about 25:30 to run the 5K. I'll try to get faster in the weeks to come. | | Add Comment |
| | I' m going to start recording my cross-training as mileage so it doesn't look like I'm doing nothing. I first went to the Rec Center at 9:00 for a yoga class. I need all that stretching and other stuff,. Then I went upstairs and did the stair master for 40 minutes. That is quite the workout. I feel like that has got to be keeping me in running shape, at least somewhat, right? I then did the elliptical, pedaling backwards, for 10 minutes. It was a lot of fun. I miss my running group a lot, but I've got to say I've enjoyed this cross-training. But, BBK group, you are still my first love! Hope to be back soon. | | Comments(7) |
