I have 4 kids, 2 boys and 2 girls. 11, 9, 6 and 2. I have been married to my guy for 13 years. He is great and so supportive of my running life. He is also very active, mostly weight training and he has run 2 half marathons as well. He is very fast without training too hard. 1:28 Half Marathon!!! I am working on being able to keep up with him. Someday when are kids are older we look forward to training together.

I almost forgot my username and password!!! I obviously haven't been using this blog enough. I have been running just not recording. I took 3 weeks off just after christmas because I had to have a minor surgery. Everthings fine. Other than that I have been running but not very seriously... mostly just fiddle farting around.

Today marks a new training cycle for me...

Welcome back. What is your goal race?

Running a half marathon called Fontana here in So. Cal the first weekend in June. It is a down hill course. Similar to Hobble creek. Ran it in 1:32:?? last year, going for under 1:30 this year but secretly want to beat my husbands time of 1:28:?? Regretting that I didn't register for the Ogden full. I always say I want to run it and never register.

The secret is out. That's a legit goal. You keep getting faster, so why not? I ran Ogden in 2009 and 2010. It's a nice marathon, but don't be fooled into thinking the course is all that favorable. The slog around the lake is non-stop rollers for nearly 11 miles. Both years, I was so thrashed, I couldn't even make good use of the downhill from 18-23. Which marathon have you enjoyed the most? Probably SG...

SG for sure is my favorite but I also really like Santa Barbara. Do you have favorite?

Oh and I say it is a secret but I have been taunting my husband since we had our 4th child that I was going to beat his half time! :) I am in awe that you and your wife have 7 children. Amazing! Everyone here in so cal thinks we are lunatics for having 4. Imagine what they would think of you.:)

From Kam on Tue, Feb 26, 2013 at 17:35:31 from 68.66.163.179

Oh, I think we are considered lunatics, and how. But they are great kids. My oldest goes on a mission this year, and the little one turns 2 in July. Never a dull moment, and when the weather is nice, I can usually find a running buddy to come along on a bike.
