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.

I need to remember that I do not like to have any part of this race.  Too many problems every time!  Grrrr!  

Anyway, I paced the 2:10 with Doug B.  The first few miles were way early and we got off a bit there.  We were pretty much 2 minutes fast through the whole thing and then the course was a bit short.  So I feel good with the effort put in.  

The course had a change and it was the best part of the whole day.  Loved the course and the fun atmosphere.  Also love helping others and being with other pacers.  So I will try to just remember those good things.  Who cares that I was gone for 7 hours to pace a 2:10 half marathon that was only 25 minutes from my house.

I really enjoyed the race ... BUT for me there was a HUGE problem and a couple of small problems. Start off small, miles were not accurate for such a big race and they didn't do awards timely.

HUGE problem, I had to wait over two hours after the run to get my race bag! It seemed more like 5 hours. About 10 minutes after I finished I asked someone about the race bags and they said it would probably be about 25 minutes and they apologized and gave me many excuses. Amazing how it took two hours after that when they new there was a problem.

I agree Terry. It was a beautiful course and a fun atmosphere but they have had way too many problems. The thing that makes me crazy is that it will still go on next year with everyone paying big bucks again. I feel bad I kind of said hi to you but then all of a sudden we were gone. It was at such a frustrating time when we ran into each other! Way to go on your race though!
