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.

Yay for sunshine!  And yay for President's Day!  Sleep in a bit and then run in the sun with the hubby who gets the day off!  Yay!  Also a great letter from the missionary this morning!  Great way to start the day and the week! 

Tom and I did our 6 mile loop.  About 2 miles into it the sun poked over the mountain and into our eyes!  It felt good to have it as a companion, especially when we turned the corner and it was on our shoulders instead of our eyes!  At the end of the loop I added one more mile around the neighborhood.  The cough is pretty much gone now.  Another yay for that!

So much for the "yays" of yesterday's sunshine!   This morning we had to go earlier when the sun was still sleeping yet the wind was out with all it's glory!  Back to all the layers.....looking forward to getting all the winter gear put away for a couple seasons!  This morning we decided it's ok to keep running in cold when cold was all we knew, but then we get those little teasing beautiful days that make it very hard to handle many more cold, windy mornings.  Oh well, any day we can get out and run is a good day....right!?  : )

I was just watching the BYU game and realized that I sat and commented on other blogs today but forgot to blog my own run.

Tom and I got to go out in the sunshine today since he worked from home.  It was a bit chilly when we started but by the first mile I had shed the long sleeve and was in shorts and short sleeve.  Nice for today, probably won't be doing that for awhile again.

I planned to do some quarter mile repeats.  Tom still wants to keep things nice and easy so he was around but I was doing them on my own.  I didn't have the umph that I had last time I did quarters but the seven of them ranged from 6:54 - 7:09 pace.   I actually thought I did 6 until I got home and looked at the gamin.....if I would have known I was on the 7th I would not have done it!  Oh well, I guess that last one was good for me!

Snow, schedules and maybe a little laziness tried to make Tom and I do the "Do Run Run" without the "Do" and without the "Run" today!  But in the long run, our long run happened.  We ended up with a pretty good snow storm pelting us in the face, but it was very enjoyable anyway!  So happy that snow, schedules and laziness did not win out today!  Tom finished at 9 but I decided to add one more.  I was tempted to go to 11 but a belly ache told me I was done.

Now let's go Jazz!  Let's give Coach Ty another W!
