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.

Update:  I have been doing some pool running to keep the cardio alive.  This morning when I went to the PT he put some heat and then ultra sound.  After that I did my stretches then he did the scraping and more stretching before hitting the pool.

Today he decided to tie me to the side of the pool and do some swimming, mostly kicking along with my pool running.  While I was doing the pool running I stayed tied to the side.  It seemed to give me a good workout.  Only problem today was that the thermostat on the pool was messed up and the pool was 99 degrees!  I actually almost passed out after 60 minutes of working out in there.   I had wanted to get 70 minutes but I couldn't wait to get out at 60!  Oh ya, he also had me spend the first 10 minutes in the 4 foot area and just try to run with the closest form I could with actually touching my whole foot down.  Throughout the week he wants me to go to more shallow each time until I am at waist deep.  Then I have been given permission to run on Friday or Saturday.

Kim, sorry about your injuries. I hope your recovery is speedy and complete. You'll be back on the trails with Tom before too much longer...fingers crossed.

Thanks guys. I am actually going to wait until Monday to start running. And then it will only be 5 min walk/5 min run/5 min walk...etc. So we will see what next week brings. Hopefully good things so Tom won't have to have a grumpy wife for too much longer. : )

It is funny how not being able to run can make you quite grumpy, huh? I always say I do not love running all that much, but when I can not run I get so moody! Probably cause I have to cut back on the sugar.

I hope MOnday goes well!!!!

Kim, keep up the rehab - more grouchy the better, keeps you hungry for running. Good work, keep up the CT.
