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.

Six easy miles with Tom but for me the first mile felt very hard and it was the slowest of all the miles!  I guess I've got a little too much holiday cheer in my mid section right now!  : )

Enjoying some more family time!  I love when Tom has days off! 

We said goodbye to Jennifer, our Danish visitor, today.  It was fun to have her bubbly personality with us for the Christmas season!  She will now visit with Elder Camp from St. George for a week or so before heading back to Denmark.

Tom and I drove down to the Dixie Center to run on the trail down there.  Tom was planning some speed work so I warmed up a mile and a half with him and then we each did our own thing.  

In my 8.5 I had one 7:42 mile.  The first 2 miles were over nine the rest were 8:06 - 8:56.

Today has been a work day at the condo for Tom and I.  We were able to fix a few things, do some deep cleaning and paint a bathroom.  It feels good to get some of these things done.  We have to head back home tomorrow to the Christmas mess and have a whole nother work day or two there!  : (

For our work break today we went on a very nice leisurely run on the bunny trail.  The bunny trail passes a cemetery.  As we passed there were three different graveside services going on.  One was a little tiny baby coffin.  : (  Someone had a very sad Christmas holiday.  We walked as we passed by in respect for the deceased and the families.  

Down the lane a bit is a bird watch area.  We went in and watched the ducks and a few other kinds of birds.  Chatted a bit with a lady with the most amazing camera lens!  She has a fun hobby with that thing!  She gave us a little more bird info than we were planning on but it was nice to talk to her!

 Finished up the run with the awesome hill back to our condo.  I was using my new Kinect skills to imagine powering up as I passed certain landmarks.  Who said video games aren't good for ya?!  : D

Tonight we enjoyed a nice little dinner at the China Palace.  Enjoyable time with my really cute hubby!

The last run of the year!  Wow!  Where did the time go?  I'm still getting used to writing 2011 and now I need to write 2012.

I ran with a big SF group while Tom slept in a bit for his tempo run a little later in the day.  I was kind of surprised at the size of crowd we had today considering the howling wind we all listened to last night!  It was a nice run though with fun company.
