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.

While we were out we saw a shooting star. It was weird though because it wasn't even dark anymore when we saw it. I'm sure it means today will be a great day and the race on Saturday will be perfect for all FRBers! (or maybe it was a UFO and the world will be taken over by aliens today and the race will be called off.)

Kids are back to school in our area today. It's kind of a bitter sweet time. It's good to get back into a better routine again, but I kind of miss having them around.

Hey speedy woman, nice job on the little 4 mile "tune-up" run this morning. You were sure bookin' it on that last mile, what got into you to make you go so fast, especially there toward the end?! (:))

Don't worry, the secrets of your speed are safe, I won't say anymore.....I'll just say you really had some good 'zip' at the end....yes indeed you got some good RUN this morning baby!

You are just too kind to keep my secrets safe! All I know is I have a nice bush scratch on my leg. Where in the world did that come from? :)

Thanks for the nice comments on my blog. It was fun catching up on your running. You are amazing and your speed is unbelievable. Leslie and I were just saying today that we wished we were doing hobble creek. Good luck.

Hey Kim, WOW, you are doing awesome. Holy cow you are getting fast. I got your comment from yesterday and I think that I will definitely be chasing you down the canyon Saturday. Way to go and good luck with that "Bush scratch",I hope it gets better. I can not imagine how you got that, he he!

Kim, thanks for the note on my Pikes Peak race. Best to you on your race this weekend. I'm impressed with the progress you are making with your fitness running level. Keep it up.

Nice 7:28. I am sure you will get over your missing the kids quite easily, if not, I will send a few over your way.
