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.

I was planning to meet Kay this morning when I got a text from her saying it was raining outside and she wondered if we should just go back to bed.  I told her I would still go out but she could get some more zzzzs if she wanted.  She wrote back that if I were going out so was she.  Later she thanked me for not letting her go back to bed.  It actually stopped raining and was quite a nice run.  

Five with her and 2 with my poor neglected Rui.  He was so mad at me after being gone for 2 weeks and not taking him out.  The day I came home he completely ignored me.  He never does that....he is ALWAYS excited to see me.  The good thing about doggies is that they forgive easily and quickly.  He is now my buddy again.

This week I had to try to get back on the regular Payson Canyon day.  Since I just ran it on Saturday I wanted to take it very easy so I don't cross that fine line of too much Payson down hill.  A couple of us got out two miles down from where everyone else got out and we ran up a mile to meet them before starting the down hill.  Around mile 6 I was feeling the slightest bit of discomfort in my right ITB area so I brought up the rear on my own so I didn't pound things too much.  Right before I got to my van at Beer Can Flats a wild turkey and her 7 youngsters crossed the road just ahead of me.

Kay and I did the River bottoms loop.  It was kind of nice to do since I haven't been around to do it for a few weeks.  Nice morning. 

Tom, Tani, Tia and I went to see Wicked at the Capitol Theater last night.  Very fun night!  They do an amazing job.  I can't believe how much we pay to go see that though!  Thanks for a fun night hubby who brings home all the bacon around here! I am a lucky girl!

I took yesterday off and only did 4 today hoping that tomorrow I can do 20-22 without any problems.  I am feeling a bit nervous about doing that "one wrong thing" that I really want to avoid as I am doing the Grand Slam this year. My whole goal with this is to do it smart without injury.

The girls outnumbered the boys today!  We had us a nice gang of 5 girls!  Yay for girl power!  It was nice to have a couple guys (including Tom) around too.  Only Carolyn and I were planning on getting more than 16 though.  At the trail Carolyn and I went up around the golf course to add in our extra.  I felt good most of the way today.  The first three miles I wasn't sure if it was going to be a fun morning or not, but after things loosened up a bit it all turned out pretty good.
