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.

Tom and I went out for our speedwork day around 11ish.  We warmed up together uphill and into the wind for 2 miles.  From there we were each doing mile repeats with a 1/2 mile recovery.

My plan was to do 3-4 x mile in the 7:45 - 7:15 range.  That kind of scared me and I was hoping I could at least do the 7:45 three times.  I probably did the first one too fast but it is the one that felt the best so I am ok with it.  I ended up with 7:21, 7:25 and 7:32.  I wish I would have been smart like Tom and taken a different route on the last one.  The route I took has two little hills that about wiped out my will to keep going.  I let the hills almost take me down to a walk but I got'er going again and made it to my destination.   My destination was just past my house and I was lucky enough to have my neighbor walking out to his car at that moment and see me in all my misery. 

On a different note I was able to go up to Heber yesterday to help my daughter in law get some of their new apartment put together.  It is amazing how much stuff they have after only 6 months of marriage!  It will be nice when they get settled in up there.

I do have to mention that I took total advantage of my 1/2 mile recovery distance. I probably took a bit more time than I really should have in those 1/2 miles. Not sure if that is a bad thing or not.
