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.

Rui and I went out for 4 miles.  It took 44:38.  Each mile ranged from 10:30 - 11:30.  I threw in some wind coming from the east just to keep things exciting.  Ran with  the soundtrack from 'Wicked' today.  If you haven't had a chance to see that and you get the chance it is awesome!  When Tom and I went to Boston last April for him to run the marathon, we tossed in a trip to NY.  While we were there we were able to see Wicked.  Fifth row!  It was so good!  We also saw 'Avenue Q'. (actually we walked out of that one), just a warning to anyone else going to any broadway musicals.  Don't waste your money on that one unless of course you like raunchy x rated things to spend your money on! 

I am so glad Tom qualified for Boston and we were able to go there.  What a great experience!  Even if the weather was not exactly great!  The marathon was so fun to watch as a spectator!  The crowds were down a lot because of the weather, so I was able to walk along the last 6 miles of the course and cheer and watch people the whole way.  Even with the crowds down, the runners felt like they had huge cheering sections for the run!  I guess it is a pretty great feeling to have all that support along the way.  Tom had his name on his shirt and said it was fun  to have people cheering him by name.

Good job getting out on your workday! Your blog today made me excited to go to Boston again someday. Maybe next time we'll BOTH be running it!

I can see Tom is optimistic about your running furture. As Tom noted on my blog with pleasure, you out did me on mileage last week. I only got 18 and you did 23+ and this week you'll probably out do me again. I'll try not to let this happen often.
