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.

We were lucky enough to get 6 or so inches of snow yesterday and some cold temps and wind for this morning.  Tom and I got out early so I could meet up with my 5Kers in training.  We ran just over 3 together then parted ways so he could add in and I could head back towards the 5Ker meeting station.  I was able to get 5.75 in before meeting up with them. 

They completed day 1 of week three of their training.  I am very impressed with them!  They were worried about today and they all passed with flying colors!   Next week is going to be the tricky week as it is spring break and everyone is heading different directions.  I hope they will commit to following the plan on their own for the week!  We have about 11-13 of the original 18 who are keeping the resolve so far!  Plus about 4 or 5 in other towns who are following on their own.  It's lots of fun to help these ladies achieve something they thought was impossible for them to do!  Many of them didn't even think they could do what they did today! 

My run back home took my own mileage up to six.  So very cold when I got home....my little doggy wanted his turn to go out with me but he will have to wait till later.  I get sweaty on my run and then slow down with the ladies and freeze!  But I think after this week the freezing part should be gone.  At least I hope so!

Today I met up with the "iwannarunners" before going out to do my workout with Tom.  It ended up being a perfect day for running!  A few of my ladies were worried about this morning so they called me last night and told me they got today's in then.  They should have waited...it was perfect!  Most of the gang is hanging in there and doing a great job!  I'm worried about a few who are missing too many of our scheduled workouts.  Unless they are doing them on their own, I'm afraid I'm going to be losing them.  

Tom and I went out after we got the kids out the door.  He actually started while I was getting kids ready and had a few miles in before coming back for me.  We had a hill repeat workout planned...6 - 10.

It went well and we ended up with 11.  At the end of 11 I was done, done, done.  But after a few minutes of breathers I was ready to finish the trip home.  The pace quickened as we headed home and it all felt great!  Woo Hoo!  Better than the blah, blah, blah of yesterday!  : )
