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.

Today Tom worked at home so he could run outside in the sun with me for my speed workout.  We weren't sure if the sun was ever going to show itself like it was suppose to but it ended up coming around 11:00 just as we were ready to get er going!.

It was quarter mile repeat day for me.  Goal:  6-8 fast/hard pace.  I did 6 and thought that was plenty, didn't think I could do another one.  But after the 1/4 recovery I wanted to try one more....Did it!  Then I knew I didn't want to do anymore.  : )

One mile warm up then 1/4 fast, 1/4 recovery and finished with 1 1/2 cool down home, while Tom went on to add some hill work and 5 more miles.

I felt good about the consistency, only 3 seconds between the fastest and slowest.  I know that 3 seconds means a lot to some of you, but to me I call that consistent.  My HR spiked at 181, with my average HR 153.
