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.

This morning the SF running group got together for a fun Christmas Eve morning run.  We all ran leilsurely for 4 miles.  At that point most of them went up to the church for a little social.  Kay, Jill, Tom and I continued for a few more miles where Kay and Jill turned back and we went just a bit further to start my 5K time trial. 

The first .20 was very down hill so I was able to get a good start.  I promised Tom a full mile around 7:30-7:45 and then just whatever I could do with the option of being done anytime after the first mile. 

1. 7:33

2. 7:35

3. 7:31

last .10 .42 (7:02 pace)

My goal for next month at Painter's 5K was to beat 24 minutes.  My previous PR is 24:04.  Today's time is now my new PR.  I guess I'll have to try to beat it now at Painter's.  Maybe I can go under 23?

Awesome job today babe! I really wasn't expecting that - you were cruisin!!

From Bonnie on Sat, Dec 25, 2010 at 20:01:15 from 64.119.33.134

Kim, I really do think a sub-23 is possible ... but I would try to stay at 7:30 pace for the first mile and then ratchet it up from there (just concentrate on picking people off the last mile) ... I can't wait to see how you do!

Merry Christmas!!!

Thanks for the advice Bonnie! I don't dare start off faster than 7:30. That alone scares me. I still have the main goal of getting under 24. Anything less would just be icing on the cake! Thanks for the Merry Christmas wishes! Hope you are having a nice Christmas season too!

CONGRATZ on the PR! GREAT JOB! Hope you get that *icing on the cake* at Painter's! You can do it!

Have a wonderful holiday with your family! :)

Thank you Smooth! Are you going to be down at Painter's?

Have a wonderful holiday with your family too!

I want to do Painter's...but my daughter is going to have her 4th baby right around that time. They live in Houston. I'll find out sometime next week.
