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 won't make a big deal out of this 20 miler like I did for my 18 miler last week. The SF group started out with about 13-14 people. The real speedsters, (4 or 5 people), broke off early. Tom actually went with another guy outside of the group. The rest of us went down around Leland and up to Gu corner where several turned around. Four of us headed out towards Harry's Hill. Two of us were up in front of the other two and didn't notice them turn around somewhere. So it ended up that Dave L. and I took it to the top of Harry's and the rest of the way on our own.

I was glad I didn't end up having to go it alone today. We over shot our 18 so I was at 19.1 when I was approaching my house. Since I was that close to 20 I decided to PASS my house and get a little more in. About one block before I got back to my house my left knee started to cause a little pain in the IT band area. I hope I didn't do a bad thing by adding the extra miles on today. It took my weekly miles up a little higher than they should have been.  I will take it pretty easy next week to recover from this week and get ready for Hobble Creek next Saturday.

Now, hopefully I can function the rest of the day.  Not a lot planned, but my parents are coming up and I hope I won't be too dead to enjoy time with them, Tom and our kids.

Congrats Kim on a great run week which included 3 tough runs. However Coach Tom is a little worried about the 20 miler today and 56 miles for the week. Let's baby that knee over the weekend and take a slightly overdue rest/reduced-mileage week next week and get you all better in time for Hobble Creek! I think the ice bath is calling both of us!
