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.

Tempo on the TM.

Didn't want to do it.. Did it!

Having second thoughts about Irvine half. This week has been challenging. Moving to a new area and home is stressful.

Ran with a couple women from my ward. It was really nice to run with someone.

Ran some good hills. I am really excited to be able to run hills again to help with my endurance.

Found out there will be a few men from my ward running the Irvine half. I am motivated again to run it myself. I want to see how many of them I can BEAT!!!

Blessing: Being a stay at home.. I am very blessed to be at home with my kids. I Need to remind myself of this when they are driving me CRAZY!!

Hills Hills Hills!!! I feel like I am back in Herriman. I am loving it. Our new area has Mountains and Palm trees. Love it!!!!

My legs are hammered. I am not use to running hills, seeing that I have been living a mile from the beach the last 8 months.

I am excited to strengthen my legs with the added hill work.

I got a little lost. I only meant to do 7 miles but ended up with 7.5. I guess an extra half is not that lost.

AP: 9:19 not too bad with all the hills.

Took a 15 min. ice bath right after returning from my run.

Blessing: My new secenery outside... It truly is gorgeous running through the palm trees and enjoying the mountains!
