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.

Crazy night and morning.  Last night Tom and I ended up down at some friends house until close to midnight helping them unflood their basement.  This morning at 4:10 we woke up to head up Payson Canyon for a 20 miler.  Shoved 12 people in the Suburban along with coolers of water/Gatorade and spent the time dropping water along 4 spots The further we went the worse the weather became.  It was just to risky to get out of the vehicle at the top.  We were all bummed but came back down gathering all the coolers on the way down and came back home to bed.  After about an hour or so of sleep we were all able to get out one way or another and get some miles.  I was out of gas way from the beginning. I didn't know what I would be able to do.  Luckily I was able to pull out 16.  Not pretty, but 16 miles is 16 miles.  I actually went up Harry's Hill twice.  Then I ran into Tom and some others who almost had me talked into HH a third time.  Luckily I got smart as we started and I turned around.  I would not have made it without some nourishment which was a couple miles away even without going up and down again.  

So I was hoping for 20, planned for 20, went out for 20, then thought I might get 0 or maybe 3 and ended with 16.  That will have to be good enough.
