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.

What a cold, windy morning to start out today!  The great big full moon seemed to make it even colder as we watched the snow whirling past us in the wind!  Brrrr!  We talked about how it was giving us all a cold headache and decided that from now on if we are going to have cold headaches there better be ice cream involved!

I was able to run just over half of my miles with Tom and the triple Ds...Doug, Darin and David. They were all doing 12ish or less (except Darin but he was going to start going faster) so I left them just after 11 and headed back out away from home.  So I was alone for a bit there.  I was looking forward to a drink at the ball park but no bathrooms or fountains were going this morning...: (  I called a friend who lives down that way to have her have a drink out on her porch for me but I didn't get an answer.  Come to find out they were up till 4:00 this morning celebrating birthdays and they were all snoozing! 

Then I ran into my two new running buddies...Corinne (sounds like Car in) and Katie!  Yeah for some new running buddies!  I was able to run a few with them and then we had Tom come and get us so we didn't have to run uphill and east into the nasty wind.  I still needed just under 3 miles so I had Tom take me to the top of Canyon Road and drop me off so I could finish up with the cold wind behind me!  

When I reached home I still had about 3/4 of a mile left for my buddy Rui!   

*I forgot to add that when I got home I finished my 20 miler with a snow angel on my front lawn.  I was a little embarrassed (and nervous that I might not be able to get up) but I did it and it made me smile and maybe someone else too if they were watching.*

Ha ha! Thanks Clay! You know you can join in with the gang anytime don't you?! We usually end up around Gu Corner around 7:00. There is usually some going up the trail and around the golf course or out to Harry's Hill after that.
