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

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.

Tom and I got to pace this one together.  We haven't done a pace gig together for a while.  It was fun to work together to help our group.  We had an awesome gang with us.  Mostly women, but a few guys too.  I think more guys watch you without your knowledge though...they are not as willing to say they are with you and using you for help.  They are silly that way.  

We gained about a 20 second cussion over the whole race and unfortunately didn't come in perfect but our whole group went in up ahead of us and we crossed the line with no one....and no one behind us for the distance that we could see until the turn.  So there was no need for us to be back any.  So we feel that it was a great success!  So fun to have several come up and thank us after the race...some (even guys) who let us know they kept us in their sights or would not let us pass them.  Pacing is very rewarding.  And it was an absolute beautiful day to put one foot in front of the other for 13.1 miles!
