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 bundled up for an early morning run today.  I don't usually go at that time, but knew that I wouldn't have another moment the rest of the day to get a run in.  In fact, I am barely going to have this minute to write.   I thought of the positives and negatives of this morning's run.  

Negatives first....early, dark, cold, a good stretch of nasty cold wind.

Positives....it was early, but I couldn't sleep anyway.   It was dark, but that made it so we could see the beautiful stars in the sky. (including 2 shooting stars to wish on!).  It was cold outside, but I have a running husband who has made sure I have all the greatest cold weather gear to keep me nice and warm!  I got the gold on a day that was almost too busy for even a bronze.  I averaged a 10:30 pace.  And last but not least, got to start the day with some great quality time with Tom!

Kim this was a great run and you were moving pretty quick for such cold temps. It was great to be out there with you. I hope we can do these hard cold morning runs occasionally as they make us that much tougher!

In nicer temps I think you would have been doing 10-min pace or better. I think by spring when the temps get nice again you will be a 9-min girl on your faster days. This will also be nice as it will open up some other training options for you as you'll be able to run with some of the SF running club folks if you so desire. Then...soon after that.... you begin DOMINATING your age group at the local races. I can't wait to see it happen, it will be awesome! Hopefully we'll BOTH be dominating our age groups and our competition will be afraid....very afraid...
