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.

I guess Tom and I did some fartleks this morning.  I don't think that sounds very lady-like, but oh well!  It's kind of fun to get into more than just running.  He is really helping me learn a lot.  I am excited to see where it can take me.  This morning it took me down to the river bottoms where we could avoid the wind and have a good hill for the fartlek workout.  We were suppose to do 4 30 second relaxed sprint paced uphills with a 2 minute cool down between.  On the second one the person who was watching the time, (I won't mention his name), timed it for 60 seconds instead of 30 by mistake!  So we counted that as 2.  I can see how these workouts are going to be beneficial to me!  I hope, hope, hope I get into the St. George Marathon!  I guess the time is approaching that we will find out.  I hope that since a lot of us had bad luck getting into the Moab half that we will all have good luck to get into SGM.

I hope you do get into St George also! Brent had a tee shirt that said fartlek (it's a runner thing) and I disliked it greatly. Keep up the good work.

Sounds like your doing really good, I'm jealous when I read your blog and see that you are going for the marathon this year. I had hoped that I would be doing it too, but as it turns out it was not meant to be....oh well fun to see your amazing progress! I'm sure that you will get it now that you I'm not putting in with you, it must have been my bad luck that was the problem, so you should be in the clear from hear on out!
