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.

Last month when the weather forcasters told us to watch out for the "blizzard" it was much ado about nothing.  This week they said we might get a few inches or some rain but not to plan on a white Christmas.  Well....I'm gonna stop listening to them!  I'm sure we have 24 inches...much more where we've had to keep piling up the snow from the driveway!

Yesterday I ended up tending 2 little ones for a friend who just had her tonsils out.  I also made dinner for a friend who's mom was in an awful car wreck.  I also shoveled snow.  So since there was nowhere to run and I have no TM or gym pass I decided to call yesterday a service crosstraining day. 

Last night Tom and I went out and scoped out the roads for this morning.  Everything looked pretty good for a run this morning.  We woke up this morning and there was another foot of snow!  So more shoveling!  Tom and I had fun out in the dark shoveling for our neighbors and digging ourselves out.  School was canceled and that doesn't happen very often!

Luckily my neighbor invited me to use their TM for today.  Only problem is I was right under the heater vent and they were heating their house! 

I was trying to do my speed work but it's kind of hard on a TM, especially when I haven't used a TM in a long time.  I did the best I could adjusting things. 

I did 5 miles with 6 x quarter miles (7:03 pace on the quarters.)

Kim, my 6th grade math teacher (middle school), Mr. Carrier, used to always say "Work will win while wishy washing wishing won't."

RP: I'm testing that quote out. I'm working on a 12 week 5K plan. We'll see if work WILL win, (of course NOT win-win....just win myself-win!) Hoping to get under 24 at the Painter's 5K.

I predict a 22:58 at Painters.

Tough run Kim -- good job doing what you have to do to get it done!!! That Tom knows his stuff so I will concur.

Merry Christmas to you and yours!
