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 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!
As I run out in this awful air we have here in Utah I think of my friend in Ohio who received new lungs this past summer. She had a lung disease that required her to be placed on the donor list and get a transplant. She has never smoked a day in her life but ended up with this disease. She works so hard to protect her new lungs that were given to her from some unknown person. It makes it a hard decision to know if we should be out in that stuff. I looked straight into the sun as I was running...it didn't bother my eyes at all because it is so filtered. It just looked like a great big full moon up there in the sky. Blah....Inversion!
This was a crazy day. Tom and I got up and out the door at 6:00 but it was so foggy and so icey there was just no way we were going to be able to get a good run in safely. We saw a car just ahead of us and barely could see the lights. We figured if it was that hard for us to see them, they surely weren't going to be able to see us! Plus the ice was just everywhere. So we did the only logical thing and went back in and went to bed for a while longer. Only problem with that was that I had a jam packed day and knew I wouldn't be able to get a run in. :o(
