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.

After getting our 12 year old off to her first year of girl's camp and Tom helping out a neighbor this morning we finally got out around 7:30. It's probably good to get a few runs in the sun since there will most likely be sun on the last part of my SGM. (However they said that the first time I ran SGM and it WAS NOT TRUE!...2008 the rainy, rainy year!)

We decided to run into the wind for the first 3 miles and have the wind at our back for the final three. We zig zagged up and around and through a few different neighborhoods for a little different view. Now I must hurry and get ready because my 4th grader is so excited to get up to the school and find out who her new teacher is!

Ah, that was my first year at St George, too! I loved the rain, anything is better than heat!

Hope your daughter enjoys camp, this is the first time in 5 years i have not had to go and I am so glad!! It is so HOT!

Have a good day!

I kind of liked the rain too Kelli! It was crazy, but like you say, anything is better than the heat!

I can't believe that was your first marathon! I thought you'd been doing them longer than that you runnin' machine!

That was my first St George. I did TOU of Utah kind of on a whim the year before. The most I had ever run was 15 miles so it was TOUGH!!! I had done my first ever race that summer (Provo 1/2) and for some reason let my husband talk me into a full. Now I am some kind of addict!

I know the rain was hard on little skinny elite people, it made their shoes heavier or something. But for me, I did not get any blisters, I did not have to drink much, and it was not hot. I enjoyed it. I was freezing after though!!!

It was SO cold after! I remember Tom waiting for me at the finish line. He had been there an hour waiting for me after his finish so he was freezing! His lips were blue and he looked awful! I remember wondering if I looked as bad as he did! I didn't feel the cold right then because I had just finished but it hit soon enough!

I remember walking around holding a posicle for about an hour. It never melted and I never felt the desire to eat it! Scott was practically having convulsions he was so cold. I had my long sleeved race shirt in my bag and just put that on and I was okay. But I did see a ton of people with blue lips. In fact, I am pretty sure I remember seeing Tom and asking him if you were done yet and him looking at me like, "Who are you????"

Ahhh, the things we remember.
