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.

Thanks to all who sent smiles my way yesterday.  It ended up being a better day.  I'm hoping today continues on in the way yesterday ended.  It started out good with a nice 6 miler with my very patient and loving hubby/coach.  Thanks Tom for always being there for me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!!!! No reason to thank me, I should be the one thanking you!!! Technically I guess you're 1 year older today but in my book you're simply 1 year BETTER and just keep getting better every year!

From Terry on Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 10:12:42

The mushy mushy stuff is sometimes hard to take. But I guess I wouldn't want it any other way. Kim, keep up the good running in your old age.

From Tom on Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 10:17:21

Terry you are such a wonderful and special buddy and I love you very much.

How's THAT for a little extra dose of mushy-mushy!

From Cal on Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 10:25:55

Happy BIRTHDAY Kim! You may be getting older, but you're definitely getting faster!

Your best years are still to come!

From Lucia on Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 10:38:07

Awww you guys are so cute! I hope some day I'll find someone to run with and who'll send me mushy-mush comments too :)

You are soooo ready for SGM!

I don't mind if you call me Kimi,

But you've got to spell it right if you do.

And to make this a rhyme,

I'll tell you, I'm 42!

From Lucia on Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 11:11:59

Happy Birthday Kim! Hope you have a great day. It looks like you have started the day off good so far.

Today is Dustin's Birthday too!

From walter on Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 12:05:40

Well Happy BIRTHDAY you young one you! I guess you thought you'd get away with not telling anyone huh! Thanks Tom! Its Dustins B-day today also! you guys are almost the same age, crazy! See you around.

From Superfly on Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 12:08:05

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Kim, Happy Birthday to you. And many more...

Also good job in Hobble last weekend. See ya at STG.

From Dustin on Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 12:19:05

Happy Birthday, always nice to learn about another person with the same birthday. I'm hoping that is a year or two the age divisions will get easier, but I don't think it does as I look at all the fast people on the blog. Anyway, hope you have a great day.

From Andy on Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 12:29:12

Happy Birthday!

From Kelli on Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 12:32:24

Have a wonderful birthday! And, yes, you "old" people are fast. We can all strive to be like you when we grow up!

But, wow, you do not look a day over 32! Seriously, I never would have guessed (aside from the son a mission part, that gave a little clue---but I thought maybe you started when you were 12??)

From Kerry on Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 15:42:53

You've got to be special with a birthday in August! At 42 you're just nearing your prime. Hope Coach Tom takes you some place nice (note to Tom: by that I mean some place indoors where the the only "repeats" involve desserts)

From Kim on Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 23:00:23

Wow, thanks everyone! It's been a mostly great birthday. The only down side was having to work today with a bunch of changes that stressed me out. Marion will know what I'm talking about. (If they would only get computers!!!!) Now off to snoozeville so I can get up and run down Payson Canyon tomorrow morning. zzzzzzzzzz

From Ian on Wed, Aug 27, 2008 at 06:54:55

Oh, I'm tail end Charlie. Belated Happy Birthday greetings Kim! Enjoy your Canyon run burning off those cake calories.

From marion on Wed, Aug 27, 2008 at 13:02:18

Oh my GOODNESS- Work was NUTS last night! We did 45 overtime and the tally was a unqualified DISASTER!!!! Kathe was a little more calm than I was. We had 10 new joiners and only 2 of us. AAAHHHHHHHgh!!!

From Kim on Wed, Aug 27, 2008 at 16:37:24

Marion,

I'm glad I wasn't alone in the feeling crazy at work area! However, my frustration was more because of my stupid mistakes with all of the changes.

We ended up with 1/2 hour overtime and a disaster tally and a forgotten MP tab from the bottom of a joining MP holder and a check given by one of the "Do not let this person give a check" list!

And I get to go back and do it for 2 more shifts tomorrow. How lucky am I?

From Lybi on Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 10:51:56

Dang! Too much stress for a birthday. (Sorry to be late, but here it is: Happy birthday to YOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUU, Happy birthday TO YOOOOOOOUUUUU, Happy BIRTH-day dear Kim-ster, HAPPY birthday to YOOOOOUUUU!)

From MarcieJ on Fri, Aug 29, 2008 at 18:21:37

Whoa I am like 3 days late but HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY! Hope you had a good one!

From missee on Wed, Sep 03, 2008 at 09:01:02

I know I'm a bit late on the birthday wishes, but I just had to add my own!!! Happy Birthday. I hope you had a wonderful day and that it was special and that you felt like a princess!!!

From Sasha Pachev on Mon, Sep 08, 2008 at 18:06:26

Happy Birthday!
