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 were both doing 3 miles at MP today so we did a 2 mile warm up together and then we were on our own. It has been kind of fun this year to see our training...we have been about a minute/mile off of each other. I am interested to see what our difference in time will be on Saturday. It seems that it should be 26.2 minutes different. We shall see....I'm goiong in pretty confident but not quite that confident.

The pace for my three miles today was 8:00, 8:00 and 7:56. But hopefully with down hill and race day magic that pace will feel a bit better on Saturday.

Previous PR: 2012 SGM 3:52:xx

Goal for this year:

Good: Get a new PR

Better: 3:45:00

Best: Sub 3:40

I would love to have sub 3:40 be my main goal but this is a place I have never gone before so it is hard to know exactly how to approach it. If nothing else, this will be a time to learn to help me get there another time. According to our 1 minute difference in training....if Tom can pull off a 3:05 I should be 3:31ish....That just scares me. Where to line up? Which to go for? Crash and burn? Go for it and do it? These are all questions I have right now.

I'm excited to see what you get this year! The great thing is you have trained well so that your chance of getting a PR is HIGH.

SG is close to LV so I'd give you a 85% chance of a PR and a 15% chance of going Sub 3:40. Hope you can beat the odds and go sub 3:40!
