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 have to add a tally mark to the left side of the chalkboard for today.  For further explaination of the chalkboard and tally marks go to http://pthomas.fastrunningblog.com/  and while you are there you can wish him a happy 50th birthday!  He's a great guy with a lot of great wisdom and inspiration packed in that 50 year old body of his!

Anyway, mentally I wasn't ready to do today's workout.  Warm up...4 X 1mile repeats at 7:45-8:15 with a 1 minute jog/rest between....cool down.  I had decided to just get out and run and not worry about a certain workout.  But I didn't let my mind and the wind win today!  I did a mile and a half warm up and then started my miles right smack into the wind!  Miles 1 and 3 were into the wind while miles 2 and 4 the wind was at my back. 

  • 8:00
  • 7:48
  • 8:01 
  • 7:37

And so I did it...and now I have my first tally marks on the left side of my new imaginary chalkboard.  I think I'll  use this chalkboard a lot...silly, but effective.
