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.

OK, I'm either setting myself up for a sweet PR or a trip to the ER!  Today was my last time trial in preparation for my 5K on the 22nd.  To recap, my current race PR is 24:04.  Two weeks ago I did my first time trial at 23:21.  Today I did my second time trial and got 23:09.  I wasn't sure I had the right mind set going into the trial today and the temps were colder than I had planned but it turned out good! 

5K Ave: 7:29/HR 164

7:32, 7:35, 7:21, .40 (6:58 pace)

I slept in a bit longer today while Tom went out and got 8 in before returning to get me.  Then he got 8 more miles in with me.  We did a 3.5 mile warm up, then the 5K and 1.6 cool down to home. 

We saw a cute little spoiled looking puppy in a pink sweater during our cool down time.  She looked lost and a little scared so we thought we'd try to see if she had a tag we could help her find her way home.  She layed down and acted like she wanted us to scratch her tummy but when we got close to her she about took our hands off!  She was a fiesty little gal!  We wanted to help her out but she was not going to let us.  I hope she found her way home safely.

Now off to a busy day of Primary duties and basketball games.  Have a great weekend!
