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.

Yep!  I decided to do 12 today.  Rain and all!  It was perfect.  Just sprinkles here and there with a few moments of a bit more than sprinkles.  Nothing like the "Drowned Rat Race" of May 1st!

Two excitements of the run....first was when I approached 5 deer enjoying their fresh greens for the morning.  They didn't notice me and I didn't notice them until we were about 5 feet from each other.  They were just off the side of the road as I rounded a corner.  It startled them, (which in turn startled me), and they hopped off a ways to stop and look at me.  So I stopped to look at them for a minute also.

Then I turned onto tree line road and there was about 20 feet of road covered in water from a plugged up irrigation area.  A nice local farmer on a four wheeler was just finishing helping three other girl runners from the other side to my side when I got there.  So he loaded me on and took me across to the other side.  He said helping us across was lots more fun than working!  : ) 

Yesterday I didn't mention the fun Tom and I had talking to our missionary on Mother's Day!  I love Skype!  It was a fabulous 1 hour and 36 minutes!  Our missionary is in Denmark and has been gone for almost 6 months.  He is doing so well and is very happy!  Makes a mom's Mother's Day perfect!  : )

Now off to a nice, long, hot shower!

ave. 9:26  And I just noticed it took one hour and 36 minutes....just like my Skype call....the call seemed much faster.

Kim, a nice easy pace run is good for the sole. This kind of running really shows your conditioning is paying off, next time, turn off the watch, enjoy the day on your enjoy the day day, what the hay, whatta say.
