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.

Since I knew it was going to be around ZERO degrees plus wind this morning I didn't worry about an alarm clock and getting out early.  I was glad I didn't have to get out early also because our son was sick and kind of kept us awake those precious few hours before time to get up.

My plan for today was a 2 mile warm up then a 4 mile tempo at ave. 7:45 pace.  The bad thing about my run today was the warm up and first 1/2 mile of the tempo were all with the wind but the rest were all into the wind.  At 3 miles I wanted to quit but I decided to push until 3.5.  At 3.5 I decided I would try to go to 3.75.  At 3.75 I decided I was DONE!  I used the last .25 for a slow recovery home. 

3.75 tempo ave pace 7:43
