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

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.

So it's been one week since that fun day in St. George running 26.2 miles!  I have been enjoying going over it in my mind this past week!  It is an absolute joy to have done that and felt so good throughout the run and through this week!  Today was my first run since then.  I have gone out and done some walking but I didn't want to go out and do something dumb even though I was feeling good but am probably still in a weakened condition.  So this morning after Tom got  6 miles in he came back and got me.  We tried out some new city trail that we've been waiting to see completed.  It only has about a 2 mile stretch added in, but it was fun to see new things.  He jumped back in the truck after 4, (10 to him) and I continued on to home.  I ended up with 5 miles running and 1 mile walk.  I felt a bit in my right ham and quad areas when I tried to go close to 9s so I kept it more around 9:40.

Yesterday morning when Tom went out he was hit by a biker!  It was pitch dark out down in the river bottoms.  Tom had a reflective vest on but the biker didn't have a light at all on!  How do you dare ride a bike in the dark without a light?!  Anyway, they saw each other just in time for the biker to apply some brakes and they both swerved....unfortunaltely they both swerved the same direction.  But the biker had slowed enough that it didn't hit Tom head on.  Tom's hand hit the handlebars and the tire hit his leg but he stayed standing as he turned and watched the biker go down.  Luckily they both made it through ok.
