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.

Personal:
Going to St. George? Bag the hotel and stay in one of our condos instead!
Tested a little bit with Tom but decided that I needed to do some run/walk stuff so left him to do his own thing. I was able to get some walk/run in for about 1.3 miles but it didn't feel good so I decided I would just get a good long walk in today. After another mile I decided it was too boring to walk alone so I went back to get my rickety bike. After biking I finished up with a little more walking with my doggy. So I ended up with 3 miles walk and 5 miles bike. Not impressive by many standards but at least I got out and propelled myself in one way or another for awhile.

Hi Brent...thanks for your concern. I am actually doing very well. I stopped running very soon after pain because I want to avoid bad Achilles problems like the plague! I started some pool running today and will do that and biking for the next two weeks. Hopefully at that point I will hit the road with no pain! I am still hoping to do Hobblecreek Half and SGM. Maybe not as well as I had planned, but at least I will be doing it.

Hey, there, how is it going????? I think about you every day when I run and am in pain the first few miles. This is not a fun injury, but you were much smarter than me so I hope you are doing WELL!!!!!!

Hi Kelly, We'll see how things are in about a week and a half when I am given the go ahead to try to run. I have been a very good girl and not done any running! I started pool running this week. I feel like it gets my heart rate up good enough but I don't feel like it does a lot for my legs. My arms get a good workout though. My PT has me hold the floating dumbbells down to my side in the pool to float instead of wrapping something around my chest...that way my arms are working the whole time. I like that because I have neglected my arms for quite a while. Anyway, we'll see what happens...I am hoping by catching this early and really following the rules that I will be good as new or better when I get going again. If I am then maybe other people on the blog will learn from me and get some rest when the injury is small and not let it get too serious. :) All I know is that I did not and do not want achilles problems haunting me for years!

We could ALL learn from you! I am glad that you were smart about it because it van be very nagging!!!
I have never tried the pool running, but I could always use a good arm workout!!!
