Began running after 26 years of sedentary lifestyle and four children. Took my first 5 hour 10 minute marathon down to sub 3hr in 2 years.

Short-Term Running Goals:

My new goal is to get back to where I was a few years ago; running mainly for enjoyment (and not just to reach a specific time standard) and to reach the highest level of fitness/speed that I feel is possible for me while maintaining a balanced lifestyle.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Conquer the last 10k of The Marathon.

Personal:

Stay at home mom to four kids, married to Matthew, live on a 130 acre farm in Upstate NY.

Gaige/Kelsey loop. slow. felt terrible. typical. probably due to the 10# weight gain incurred over the last 24hrs. I'm certain.
Okay, out the door. headed to Utah. almost forgot to pack sneakers. not good.

Race: St. George Marathon (26.2 Miles) 02:50:45

The entire race was perfectly paced for me, except for the last mile(which was 8 minutes of dragging a dead carcass through town) and 2x crouching behind yucca plants to...you know. Except  for the GI trouble, the race felt really super and relaxed until the last 5k where I tried to push but to no avail. I was spent.
