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.

Slept in till 7:30 today.  Felt good.  I needed that.  When I first started my run I noticed something that I am not use to seeing.  It was with me wherever I went.  Sometimes in front, sometimes in back and sometimes to the side.  It was quite fun to watch!  It was my shadow!  The sun hasn't been peeking in on my runs lately and I kind of forgot what a shadow was.  It was nice to have it along today! 

At the end of my run I noticed a sweet friend out in her yard and stopped to say hi.  We chatted about this and that and our cute missionaries and how beautiful Mt. Timp looks with the snow and the blue sky.  We had a nice little visit and then I started for home. 

I decided to go up one final street before turning to my house when I saw another friend just opening the hood of her car.  I came from behind her and said, "are you a fix it girl?"  She said, "no, but I need a jump."  Her kids were buckled in and she seemed anxious to be going.  I told her I would run around the corner and grab my van and come and help her.  When I got back over there she seemed very relieved and said she thinks that is the fastest her prayers have ever been answered.  She said as she was saying amen she heard me say "are you a fix it girl?".  She was very grateful and I feel blessed to have been able to be in the right place at the right time for her today!

Then home to mow lawns and give my daddy a haircut.

Good choice sleeping in today so you run with your shadow buddy and be in the right place at the right time.

I think you'll be seeing that shadow quite a bit this next week!!
