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.

Nice morning with Kay.  She was a bit stiff today because she wrecked on her bike Saturday. She is banged up but very grateful she was wearing a helmet.  I enjoy my time with her.

Today was Payson Canyon downhill day.  Luckily everything is still going well with that.  I hope I am getting the right amount of good downhill to help me at SGM and not too much that will cause an injury before I reach the start line.  

The first 6 miles were all 7:27-7:49.  The final two miles I slowed it down to a 9:02 pace.  It felt good but I just get nervous on that downhill stuff!

I have a billion mosquito bites on both of my ankles (and other places but mostly my ankles and feet for some reason).  That might be a little bit exaggerated but not much!  We had a fun SF area runner club social Monday night at the pool but there were many unwanted and univited mosquito guests who also showed up!

Today I decided to go out after kids were off to school to get a little heat/sun training in.  It was nice to be out in the sun.  It was also fun to see many more people out and about.  

One sad note, I ran into a sister of a friend (Susan G) who has cancer.  The sis said the docs just informed them it is in the bones and there is nothing else they can do for her.  She is down to about 5 months or less on this earth.   It gave me lots to think about for the rest of my run.  Susan is such a good person.  I can't imagine that she has many regrets in this life.  She has lived a very happy, good, service oriented life!  She makes me want to be a better person.

Today my cute hubby/coach helped me with a 5K time trial.  I haven't been doing speedwork so I wasn't sure what I could do.  We went up to Jack Rabbit (4.25 miles) for a warm up.  I wasn't sure what I could do.  I ended up with a 24:06.  That is actually better than I was expecting.  But the last 1/2 mile was definitely not fun.  I am excited to do some specific 5k training again after SGM is out of the way.  

After we got home we changed and went to our ward service morning.  It was pretty neat to see all our ward members out helping each other out!  Now we get to go to the park for a ward lunch.  Tani and Tia were great helpers today!  Jansen was excused because HE HAS A JOB!  It is so nice to have him get out of a bed and have a purpose in his day!!!!!
