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. 

~Thomas S. Monson~

Tom and I had planned on getting out this morning to get my miles in, but our youngest daughter did the throwup thing just before it was time for us to get going.  I felt guilty leaving her alone and decided to put my run off until tonight.  Tom went out and then got more miles at work and then came home to get 6 in with me.  I'm glad I didn't have to go alone.  It was a very pretty evening for a run.  We got to watch the sun set behind the snow covered mountains.  It really was quite enjoyable. 

I got a lot accomplished today.  It feels good at the end of the day when you look back and can see you actually got something done.  I hate it when I feel like I've been doing things all day and can't show anything for it.  Tonight I have clean bathrooms, vacuumed floors, mopped floors, dusted furniture, even some dusted window blinds, wiped off counters, and some laundry washed, dryed, folded and put away!  Plus I got some good scripture reading in.  I started the Hinckley Challenge that is going around about reading the Book of Mormon in 97 days in honor of President Hinckley.  It started today and ends on May 11, which is also Mother's Day.  If you want to know more about the challenge or sign up to do it go to www.hinckleychallenge.com

Kim thanks for sacrificing your morning run and letting me go out while you took care of Tia. Also way to go getting so much done today! Great way to start out the week!

I'm glad we were able to go out in the evening. Hope today is a great day!

Thanks Tom, (I'm pretty sure that wasn't me making that comment up there.)

Whoops! I guess maybe I was still a little sleepy when I posted that comment in the early morning hours.
