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.

For some reason I slipped my IPod in my pocket before going to pick up Beth.  When I run with a partner I don't use it.  But when she opened her door I could see that I would be using it today.  She wasn't going to be able to join me again.

I decided that since I was alone I would try a 5K and make sure there were only 10s in front of each mile and no 11s.  I did it. The total time was 32:52.  (10:47,10:45,10:21, .58)  I was hoping that for the effort I had put in that the time would have been a little less.  It felt like a race, especially toward the end.  I wouldn't have been able to keep that pace if I would have been continuing on.  However, I feel good now.  Sometimes when I push it hard, a headache starts right in.   Now that I've rested for a bit I feel like I could get back out and go some more.

I am loving these beautiful autumn mornings we are enjoying here in Utah!  I can say that because the sun is starting to shine when I get out.  Not sure I would enjoy it as much in the dark and colder earlier hours as so many of you do!

I would recommend at this point running no faster than 11:30 on all of your runs, and extending the distance instead of the pace when feeling good. Do that until faster pace becomes truly conversational, then increase it. The pace should always be conversational.

Thanks Sasha, It does sound a lot more enjoyable to keep them at 11:30!

Good job today Kim! I was just reading your post from yesterday and I have to say that I LOVE Wicked! I saw it in NYC a few years ago and then two years ago in Boston (during the marathon). I have some fun live recordings I should make you some copies of. I even had to tune in to "Ugly Betty" last night (which I have never seen before) because they went to Wicked and showed some clips! I'm dying to get down to LA to see it.
