Running Accomplishments:

I started running in the fall of 2007. I truly believe I was inspired to start running and I have seen some very big blessings come my way because of following that inspiration.

Ran Boston Marathon 2013 & 2014. My favorite PRs: 2011 at the SG 1/2 and 5K where I ran the 5K in 22:22. 2013 Nebo 1/2 (downhill) 1:36:15

Short-Term Running Goals:

Long-Term Running Goals:

Running throughout life with Tom. Staying healthy and happy.

Learn from others, learn from myself, work hard, do my best, enjoy!

On running and on life.....

On occasion we need to make a second effort - and a third effort, and a fourth effort, and as many degrees of effort as may be required to accomplish what we strive to achieve.

I have never been more than a 3 day a week runner, but thought I'd try to get 4-5 days in from now on. Four will be my goal, 5-6 will be icing on the cake, (but I won't eat it, just enjoy that I did it!) It's my fitness level that needs to improve. My legs do fine, but I do a good huff'n and puff'n that some of you have mentioned you have ran by in races before. Maybe I'll start the "Choo, choo" along with the huff'n and puff'n!

Two today without the partner again. She says she'll be there tomorrow , but she hasn't done anything for a week and a half so I'm not sure how it will go.

You should train 6 days a week. Here is the argument. Suppose you are doing 5 miles 4 days a week. That gives you a total of 20. Now we divide 20 by 6, and get approximately 3.33. Running 3.33 a day times 6 will be easier on your body than running 5 miles times 4 because you have the same amount of weekly stress spread out more evenly, and it is more effective because you are not giving your body a chance to get lazy by having too many days off. In truth, you could probably pad that 3.33 to 4, and that will now give you 24 miles a week with about the same, if still not lesser, amount of stress on your body.

You are doing great! I think I still huff and puff and whattever else. I don't know how others feel but it drives me crazy hence the ipod and loud music so I can't hear myself!
