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

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.

Going to St. George? Bag the hotel and stay in one of our condos instead!
It was a balmy 27 degrees this morning with a group of 7 of us. Nice morning. Even warm enough that my doggy wanted to go out for his walk when I got home.
27 - 30 degrees out this morning. Love the mild mornings. No wind. A bit cool starting out or if you stand around talking too long but perfect for running in Utah winters. Chad entertained us with the story of his journey into running and being fit. Went from a non runner who was quite overweight in 2003 to lossing weight and running his first marathon the next year in 3:14.
Went to BYU to do speedwork with Bethany, Walter and the gang. Warmed up for 15 minutes then did 7 400s. First two were 1:52 but then I realized I was starting in the wrong place and was a little long. The next 4 were right at 1:47. I was going to stop at six but decided to go for seven and the seventh was 1:42. I'm excited to do some more of this and see what happens....especially with a little extra chubbiness I've been carrying around...I would like to see this help it go away. :)
Had to walk home a mile and a half after having some grabbing knee pains... :( Unfortunately it probably stems from some exercises I was doing yesterday. I shouldn't try new things like that. Now I don't know how long I need to rest and recover....but I am not one to go out on it over and over until it is really injured so I will take it easy here for a bit and see what happens.
