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 decided to sleep in a bit and get the run in later.  That isn't always a good idea.  It's hard to get out later.  But we did it.  I kept mine to 3 1/2 to watch the pains for today.  No soreness in the knee and less pain in the arch of the foot than Saturday.  So that is a good sign.  I didn't want to push too hard though.  I figure that today was a good day for some low and slow.

We went to the Payson Onion Days Parade.  The weather was just perfect, (61 degrees), until we could see the flag coming down the street.  Then it started pouring and pouring and hailing!  It was crazy!  We were sitting in a river flowing down past our feet.  Our seats were a huge puddle!  We were soaked through!  We had to brave it out to see our son, Jansen, on the Icelandic float.  We noticed that the temps dropped to 41 degrees quickly!  We were sitting by a bank that had the temps on a sign.  We watched as much as we could stand, but the hail actually hurt as it hit us and we were freezing in our soaked through jeans!  So we piled in the the van with wet, wet chairs, blankets, jackets, clothes, hair and broken umbrellas and went off to find Jansen and come home to warm our bones!

The weather is nice now.  We are planning on going to Thanksgiving Point to a luau tonight, so I hope we don't get a repeat of this morning!

Icelandic float, Luau, and Payson Onions! You really got around today :D I am glad everything is feeling better! I missed your saturday blog. I'll have to check it out!

Brrrrrr!!! That sounds miserable - for you the spectators and your poor son on the float.

I'm glad you were pain free today. I've been so consumed with my half marathon training that I haven't been reading blogs! I didn't even know you were struggling with knee or foot pain. I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope it doesn't interfere with you and STG victory!! :)
