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.

Wow!  I can't believe it's August!  I remember thinking January was never going to end and now it will be January again before we know it!  

Tom went out and got three miles in while I got Tyler and Jansen off to youth conference.  I joined in  for our 5.1 loop after the boys were gone.  The youth are heading down to my old stompin' grounds, (Tom's too).  They are going to the Manti Temple for baptisms and then doing other things down in Sanpete County.  I use to work for Doug Barton at KMTI in Manti.  I was a DJ on the radio.  He is the keynote speaker for the youth conference.  It's fun to have your kids go places and be with people from back in the day.  I hope they both have a great time!

Update on the missionary.  He only has 7 months left.  We got our weekly email from him this morning.  He is doing great, (needs more American deodorant though!)  He said we may be receiving some Japanese visitors who are in Utah at the moment.  That would sure be fun!  For any of you who are nervous about sending a missionary out....it is fabulous!  I love being a missionary mom!  I think I will love having a missionary home too!  But then it will be time to send another one out! 

Hope you all have a great day today!  And happy weekend and long runs!

I remember when my cousin was serving, and her parents weren't quite sure what they wanted more, all the blessings they received while she was out, or her home. Both were wonderful! And thank you for all the support.

I used to be so afraid of teenagers... they are SO wonderful! It really is cool to see your children actually choosing to do the things you want so badly for them. You and Tom are doing a smashing job :D

Happy August! Crazy! You still have few months of good running weather, though, right?

Did you realize that you ran 200 miles last month? DO YOU REALIZE HOW HUGE THAT IS? Awesome!

Glad to hear your son is doing well.
