Personal:

I am married and have 2 kids, they keep me smiling and definitely keep me busy. I began to have a passion for running because it keeps me healthy mentally and physically. Sometimes you just need to take a break and go for a run:) I want to push myself, I haven't had much experience with road races and I would love to get stronger and faster. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

This race was seriously so fun! It was beautiful and fast:) I was so excited about my time too. So I was 4th overall in women and 2nd in my age division but they gave me a first place medal because the girl who beat me in my division took first overall. So I will take a 1st place medal any day lol! Mostly I was excited to get 6:52AP because I think I always have been a little bit afraid of dipping into 6 min miles because I didn't think I could run that fast and finish a race. But I feel like I really boosted my confidence with this race even though it was a downhill course. I felt so good this morning, I started out a little faster than planned which I was worried I would die out in the end. But I felt so good until about mile 12 and then I started feeling it, I pushed hard to the end and was mad I didn't beat 2 girls in front of me! For my first half I am proud of myself and it makes me want to keep running and racing which is what matters in the end:) I'm trying to decide if I want to run the full Big Cottonwood this September. Hard to imagine running another 13.1 miles after finishing! I also met Kam fellow fastrunningblogger and he was a pacer for 1:35 and it was fun to talk to him and run with him:) He was a great pacer!

8 easy miles with my cousin Tracy in Altamont. Fun to run with someone, and I always love to run in Altamont because it is so beautiful in the summer and there is 0 traffic! My hips have been bugging me a little bit lately and I'm wondering if it's from all the downhill in my race last week? Hope they get feeling better.
