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.

Going to St. George? Bag the hotel and stay in one of our condos instead!
I needed to get a long run in today. (10-11 miles). Luckily I had Tom to go along with me on this one! We were able to get a nice tour of every corner of Spanish Fork! Most of the roads we found were clear. I am noticing that my training this time is going much better than any other time I have ran. I really think it is the 5-6 days a week running. I never even feel sore the next day. I am wondering if I will feel it a little tomorrow or not. I believe in the active recovery. Thanks Sasha!
Thanks you guys! It's fun to have the support of all of you! I am doing Painter's. There is a possibility I will be doing it slow with a running buddy. However, I don't think she is ready to take the plunge so her and I might do our own half in March or April. My average pace for today's run was 11:05. I'm not quite sure what to expect to do Painter's in, but I would hope to get a PR.

Good training this month. The only thing I would change is set the minimum goal of 5 miles for the day. If things are not working out, do it in two runs. E.g 3 in the morning, then 2 running some small errand in the afternoon. But a day must not end until you've put in 5 one way or the other.
Regarding Painters. I would go out with Lybi at around 9:00 pace and just see what happens. It is hard to say from your workouts for sure that you would be able to hold it, but it is a very likely possibility being at a lower altitude ,not wearing several layers of clothes, and finding yourself in a race situation. A sub-2:00 attempts would be worth a try.
Thanks for taking time to look at my training and giving me some suggestions! If my running friend, Beth, ends up not running I will definitely try for a sub 2 hour.
Kim, how can I not put in those miles when you and Lybi are raising the bar on me every day!!! (Thanks!) I really should have gone longer but it was getting dark and cold and when my husband and I parted ways he told me to hurry home and he would take me to dinner so I just HAD to cut it short!!!
I am going out at 9:00 pace? I don't think I was notified! I was thinking more "whatever pace feels good at the time".

Lybi - your officially stated goal is to break 2:00. This is 9:09 avg. If you can hold 9:30 in a training run, 9:00 should be very doable in a race situation. So come race day, barring a sickness, or exceptionally adverse weather, 9:00 should feel good and very natural.
