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.

This was a pretty long 17 miles....I got to join in with Tom as he finished the last part of his 50 mile Buffalo Run out on Antelope Island.  I joined him at 33 when he was starting to have some pretty bad stomache issues that seemed to last the rest of the race.  I didn't really like to see him not feeling well but I did like being the perky one for a change.  He is usually there to help me keep going but this time the tables were turned.  

I'm proud of him and his buddy Terry who decided to do this for their 50th years on earth!  

Tom acts like he is not interested in doing this again...unless I decide to do it when I turn 50 then he would do it with me.

Hip hip hooray for the pacers! My pacer kept me mentally straight and motivated.....I'm sure you did the same for Tom.

That East side of the island was rough. The land of desolation and isolation!

I hope you guys recover well and bask in the glory of 50 miles!

(And you could totally do one!! I could be a pacer/cheerleader/crew....I've got a few stories to tell to keep your mind moving!)
