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.

Tom and I slept in and had a nice leisurely morning getting him ready for the WBR. He is on the 2slow2win2dumb2quit team. That name suited them well the first year they did it. But last year they actually won their division, so the name doesn't quite fit, but it still works for them. My son and I get to go up to Park City tomorrow and volunteer at the finish line from 1:30-6:00. It will be fun to see teams coming in together.

So I got Tom off and then went out for a little heat training. Ran 4 miles while my girls rode along on their bikes. The temps out are 65 degrees. Now I know that some of you southerners call 65 ideal, but I kind of like 45. I figure I better learn to run in some heat if I'm going to be running SGM in about 4 hours. I'm sure it's plenty heated up there at 10:00 a.m.

Girls night tonight with Camp Rock and the Jonas Brothers.  If you don't know what I'm talking about then you don't have daughters between the ages of 7-12! 

I was going to mention, we received a letter from our son in Japan.  We had been worried since we had heard of the earthquake there last Saturday.  He said it is definitely the biggest one he has felt there so far.  But that everything was fine and no one in his area was affected seriously.  Be still my heart....  :-)

It is fun to get a little glimpse of your life, what a fun family! I love your husband's team name! Good for you to volunteer, that is something I want to do more of, payback for all the wonderful races and people who have supported me.

Glad you hear your son is safe and well, and have fun rocking out with the girls tonight!!! Yep, your right, I don't have girls that age and never heard of those groups. I am still listening to Pink Floyd!!!

Have a fun weekend in Park City!!!

Glad to hear your son is OK. I didn't even know there was an earthquake over there! Have a great weekend!

Have fun up at WBR. One of these years we will have to do a fun girls team of the FRB. Don't kill yourself in the 65 degree weather! I mean you might get heat stroke if it's that hot! ;) 65 is PERFECT! Pretty soon it won't even be getting close to that anytime day or night here.

Crazy huh, Mik'L?! In the winter when you guys complained of 65 being too cold we were jealous of you!
