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 had only gone about 10 steps when he hit a buckle in the road and did a nice slo-mo fall.  Luckily he was able to get out of that situation with no problem.  Hopefully tomorrow he doesn't notice anything because of it.  

We just enjoyed a nice day of running on the river trail.  Tonight we start the Christmas party season off with our Meadowlark 1st Ward Christmas party.  They are doing a simple home style dinner and tradition sharing night.  I think it sounds nice. 

One of my favorite family Christmas traditions is our annual jigsaw puzzle.  We start a 500 or 1000 piece puzzle about a week before Christmas.  It is so nice to gather as a family or stop by the kitchen table on your own for a minute or two to find a few pieces.  The goal is to have anyone who stops by during that time to come in and they can't leave until they find at least one piece.  That doesn't always happen, but it's fun when it does.  Puzzles are a great way to spend time and visit with loved ones.  This will always be one of my favorite things to do!  I need to get out and find the perfect puzzle for this year.  Maybe a nice picture of Denmark.

The puzzle Sounds like a great Christmas tradition. Congratulations on your RM. I can tell you are proud and you should be what a wonderful accomplishment. By the way you are to young to have grand kids and so am I but they are a wonderful addition to the family.

If you and Tom end up running in Manti this year let me know. If you run slow we might could go a few miles together.
