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.

Well, I finally got a 20 miler in before the marathon.  I would have preferred to have 2 or 3 by now, but I am happy with this one.  Tom dropped me off at the top of South Fork in Provo Canyon and I got to enjoy absolutely breathtaking views with crisp, clear air and perfect temps! Can't ask for much more than that for my 20 miler.  

I felt good through the whole thing.  I did, however, cramp up when I finished and started stretching.  Ouch!  Thighs and calves!  Glad that didn't happen during the run and also glad that I had a personal massage therapist traveling with me to help me get the cramping under control!  Thanks Tom!

We had a fun Kid History surprise party for our 14 year old last night.  Had lots of fun and I even ate a hot dog for dinner.  I don't like hot dogs except for every once in a while they call my name and I really want one.  So I had one last night not knowing what it would do to my run today.  Seems that nothing happened unless the hot dog was the cause of the cramping.  Luckily it wasn't stomach cramping though!  : )  Two weeks till SGM.  I guess I'm as ready as I am going to be.
