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

Long-Term Running Goals:

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!
Drove out to the base of Harry's Hill and ran Pretty Little Road with Tom as a warm up for his speedy down hill work. After the warm up I drove him to the top to start his fun. I drove back down and ran up and down Harry's Hill for the first time this year. It is always nice to have that done. Then I finished up with another loop on PLR. By then I was able to drive to Tom's finish point to be able to pick him up and head home. It was kind of nice to do something a little bit different today.
Went out with Tom after the kids headed off to school. The sun was shining but it was still a bit nippy starting out. Later the sun and the muscles warmed me up better. We went out and up the trail for a bit and back home. I picked Rui up for his fun in the sun. I was very angry as Tom and I had encountered 2 loose dogs and then Rui and I encountered 3 more! One of them was a large dog and came at us quite menacingly at first! It drives me crazy how many people let their dogs roam around!
On the way to the church to meet others I saw a very bright falling star. Love to see them. Started out with a pretty large crowd at the church today! Lots of fun to have others to chat with along the way. Most turned around at the 6-8 mile point because they don't have marathons coming up in a few weeks. But Tom, Doug, Alan and I stuck it out the distance. Luckily Doug is doing SLC Marathon the week after we do Boston so he is wanting miles. And Alan is just always along for the ride and willing to do whatever! Turned out to be quite a nice morning. A few cold pockets and some ice patches to watch out for but very nice. Especially when the sunshine peeked its beautiful head up over the awesome snow covered mountains. As much as we have to complain about in these cold winter months I sure do love what we get to look at while we run! Couldn't ask for more beautiful scenery!
