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.

Great way to end the week!  We got to come down to SG with most of our kids for the weekend.  We also brought Tyler's finance and her family.  Its fun to spend time with them and get to know them better.

After staying up late playing games we decided to sleep in until 6:30 and get out the door around 7:00.  We drove to a trail head and then went out 5 miles towards Snow Canyon.  I love running along there.  It is crazy to watch the sun start hitting the cliffs down west that seem so far away....and then before you know it the sun creeps silently our way until we see our very own shadows running along with us!  I LOVE IT!  

Back at the van Tom finished up with 10 and drove back to the condo as I headed on to get four more miles.  As I was running I heard people shouting...."Kim!  Is that you?"  I looked across the street and 4 friends from Spanish Fork were out and noticed me.  It was fun to stop and chat with Rachel, Breanne, Kaliegh and Tammi for a bit before finishing up.

I had told Tom to have the phone handy in case I wanted him to come and pick me up at the bottom of the hill so I didn't have to run up.  I was planning on getting all 14 down and giving him a call.  But then I thought....Go big or go home!....And I headed right up that hill and finished my time in some neighborhoods around here!

Tyler, Chelsey, Tani, Madeline, and Preston all went out to check out the Lava Caves.  Tia wasn't feeling like much hiking so I volunteered to stay here with her.  We have worked on a puzzle, had a nap and made chocolate chip cookies.  Now we are going to play air hockey and shuffle board.
