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.

Three run miles.  Last mile feeling kind of the tight/burning feeling in my right achiles area.  Walked 3 miles.  Felt fine while walking until the last quarter or so.  Then some pain from walking.  I will continue to take it easy and see what happens.  I would rather err on the side of caution here.  

Tom and I had to visit the ER with our 17 year old last night.  He wrecked on his bike.  He is a stunt rider but was just on a casual ride on the river trail when he wrecked.  Messed up his cute face and his knee a bit.  Hopefully he won't be down for long.  He isn't the kind of guy who likes to be stuck at home for very long, but he doesn't have any desire to do much today.  He is a sad looking boy.  : (

Wow...that's not very fun to write .25, especially when I only got to write 3 yesterday.  

I went out a bit later than usual but the temps were nice because of the wind and overcast sky.  I started running and noticed pain in the achilies right from the get go.  So I gave it a quarter of a mile and felt like it's not a good idea to push it right now.  So I turned around and walked home.  I grabbed the rickety old bike we have and went on an 8 mile bike ride instead.  I would have liked to get at least twice the amount of miles on the bike as I would have running but my neck, shoulders and bum need to toughen up a bit more for me to get that.  

Of course I never see many bikers while I am out, but today when I was on the old bike and looking very newbie-ish I had to go right through a gang of fancy dressed, fancy biked people who were stopped for a water break.

Tested a little bit with Tom but decided that I needed to do some run/walk stuff so left him to do his own thing.  I was able to get some walk/run in for about 1.3 miles but it didn't feel good so I decided I would just get a good long walk in today.  After another mile I decided it was too boring to walk alone so I went back to get my rickety bike.  After biking I finished up with a little more walking with my doggy.  So I ended up with 3 miles walk and 5 miles bike.  Not impressive by many standards but at least I got out and propelled myself in one way or another for awhile.
