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.

A very enjoyable 8 miler with Tom during his lunch break.  I got to go on his lake view run, which by the way has absolutely no view of any lake that I could see.  However, it did have some awesome views of our snow packed mountains with beautiful blue skies!  

Talked today about making sure we get signed up for the Strider's Half in April and a run for the red 5K in March.  I was laughing at how I am more afraid of the 5K than the half.  I think it's because with the half I usually don't try to kill myself, whereas in the 5K I want to compete and it bugs me that I can't really do that YET!

Kim I think a whole lot of people on this blog are more afraid of the 5K than the long races. I'm certainly in that camp. They're just so darn painful even if it's a relatively short period of time. Of course there is pain in 1/2 and full marathons but it's a "funner" kind of pain, if that makes any sense.

Sure enjoyed the run today. I do believe it was my most enjoyable run of the week!

5Ks hurt if you don't wimp out but run them at your potential which is why it is hard to get ready for them. Don't worry about competing yet but do try to smash some PRs.
