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.

This morning I was planning on going over to Springville to do my run so I could keep my eyes open for the missing boy.  I logged onto fb for a minute before going out to check and see if there was any news....there was!!!!!  He came home this morning!  He has a lot to deal with now that he's home, he left because some pretty serious issues and then added some huge issues onto it by leaving and having to have a search party.   BUT.....he is home!  I'm glad he was brave enough to come home and face the music.  Kind of sad that a 12 year old is in such situations.  : (

So anyway, I changed my plan and zig zagged all over the south east end of Spanish Fork instead.  I had one big dog threaten me.  Luckily he stayed on his property though.  Then 3 stupid little rat dogs that just about learned how fun it is to get kicked back to the future!  Dang!  I was pretty mad at the owners!  I wish they would have been outside, but NO.....no owners in sight!  GRRRRRR!!!!!!!  I hate dogs that are not on leashes! 

The first 3-4 miles were about the worst feeling miles I have ever ran!  I actually had to stop twice in those miles to stretch and try to get my mojo going!  After about 3 1/2 everything clicked into place and I enjoyed the sun and warmth and then the cold and biting wind and then the sun and warmth again and so on and so on!  At least there was some sun and warmth in there....I think the next two days are just going to bite! 

My first 3 ave. 9:00 pace and my last 5 ave. 8:30.

Thanks for the comments. It is kind of fun running with the family. Thanks for the encouraging words. Apparently there is a 5K and a 10K on March 19 in Heber City. One of the wrestlers had a bad neck injury and is paralyzed. They are putting on a fund raiser race for him. The family thought it would be a good idea to go support him and get a 10K in for fun.
