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 needed to get in an 11-12 miler this morning.  Tom is at the WBR so I met up with the SF group at 5:00.  I knew there would be a little peer pressure to go more.  I was willing to do 14-15 but no more.  They tried to talk me into 17 but I didn't let the pressure get to me.  I turned around with one other person to get to my 14 while the others continued on.  I hung with Michelle and Josse for a bit.  I'm not sure what I was thinking hanging with the speedster girls.  After awhile with them I turned around and joined back in with the gang I can hang with for a longer period of time.  The last few miles was on my own and I slowed down  a bit because the IT band on my left leg started feeling a little pain.  I want to avoid IT band issues at all costs!  That's what took me from trying to train for a marathon a few years ago. 

I only got about 4 1/2 hours of sleep last night and I have to go volunteer at Park City at the finish line for WBR from 1:00 - 6:00.  So I am going to try to go back for a few zzzzzz's.
