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.

It took a little coaxing myself to get out today.  Luckily I am fortunate to have a little leeway on the times I can run.  I got out at about 3:30 this afternoon.  There was a light snow with me all the way.  I was able to find one long road that wasn't slippery or slushy so I used it to go back and forth on a few times.  I really do love it when people look at you like you're a little crazy for running in this kind of weather!  One little old lady about took me right out of this world!  She came right at me on a 25 mile an hour road going at least 50!  I'm glad I was watching what was going on and was able to get out of her way.  Maybe with snow all over me and I just blended in with the scenery.  Whatever the case, I don't think she saw me at all!   I'm not sure I still want to buy cars from little old ladies if they drive like that!  Anyway, average pace was 10:35.  I went out with the intention of staying at 11:00 but what I did felt right instead!

This is another great run for you Kim! One of those character builders. I guess we should be thankful for "character building" runs but I for one am really looking forward to some nice springtime runs sometime in the future!

I'm surely glad the little old lady didn't run you down.

Kim, I know the feeling, practice you jump and dive moves, you never know. Be safe out there, way to get out and brave the weather.

Little old ladies can be quite dangerous! Glad you made it home safe and sound. Great run in the snow!
