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.

Good news/Bad news

The good news is, I didn't have to push someone else's 3 year old in a rickety old stroller.  The bad news is, I was on my own again.  I wish I could find that one person out there in my area who has the same speed and goals as me and is looking for a running buddy!  The girl I run with now has 2 preschoolers at home so we have to rely on her work-at-home husband to help out while we run.  Lately it hasn't been working for him, so it messes her up, which in turn messes me up.  I guess it doesn't affect my runs, it just makes me go it alone. 

Oh well, I am just excited that I am in a routine that is working for me! 

I think I answered my own question of the other day.   Running at 11:00-11:15 probably would have me working too hard while I am talking.  By myself it seems a good pace, but if I were really carrying on a conversation, (which I 'd enjoy if it weren't a conversation with myself!), I would probably get too winded.

Great job just getting it done regardless of the circumstances! It can really be tough sometimes going it alone.

If you can just stick with what you've been doing for the next couple months I'm sure you'll 1)Find your easy pace getting faster and 2)Finding some other runners with the same speed/goals to train with.

At least one great thing about the blog is even when you're alone you still have all your virtual running buddies watching out for you.

Dang took me forever to get the last comment to post. Is it just me or is the blog really slow and having troubles today?
