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 just  realized it was 16 years ago this month that Tom and I moved to this windy city of Spanish Fork, Ut.  I have seen someone on this blog site mention that they ENJOY running in the wind.  I myself have not found that joy....YET!  Who knows, maybe it will come. 

This morning I was able to get four in with Tom and Rui.  There were a couple times when we turned into the wind and I was not a real happy camper, (runner).  I guess it does KIND OF feel good to tackle the wind and win, but I could do without it! 

I love making goals and actually achieving them!  My goal for this week was 20 miles with 4-6 days running.  So far I have 17 miles and have ran M, T, W and today!  Woo hoo for me!  (Sorry, I am the kind of person that needs pats on the back, even if they are from myself!)

I will give you a big pat on the back, great job. I hear you on the wind, I don't mind running in most weather but I

hate the wind.

Excellent! I love setting and reaching goals too. You've got a great attitude. Wind is a drag, literally.
