Farmgirl, the running fool.

I know reading about random stuff that only has to do with just me, myself and I can be a bit boring--However, I really wanted to give a quick update on the running.

I'm pretty much a freak'n rock star!

I don't really consider myself a 'runner'. I never have. I did run the St. George marathon a few years back, I use the term 'run' loosely. We walked a lot. I was always so intrigued with the idea of doing a marathon that I put it on my 'Before I Die' list and just did it. Finishing was nothing short of amazing- absolutely awesome!

So, just to recap:
Little Idaho Farmgirl decides to be a pseudo runner, talks her sweet husband into the craziness as well, trains with a bad knee for four months, has a not-so-great race day but finishes, accomplishes a huge life goal and is very happy and satisfied to never really run again.

Fast forward a few years when Farmgirl watches her sister and brother finish the Wasatch Back. And the running itch returns. That was last summer. Those itches come and then they go. No running occured in my life (minus chasing children) until about a month ago.

It's been going pretty good. Amanda and I got some good runs in while she was down here.
This morning I had a major break through....
I ran 4.8 miles in 47 minutes.
Do the math, people--that's UNDER a ten minute mile!!
I told you I'm pretty much a freak'n rock star, didn't I!?!
And just so you can all be even more impressed by my awesomeness--this run included some serious hill climbing. For all you local yolkals, I ran into old Santa Clara and back up the highway coming from the Jacob Hamblin home.
I have never run under a ten minute mile.
I know, you are all blown away by my quick footed skill!

This was a good running day. :)
