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.

First of all Tom and I ran up Provo Canyon 5 miles and back down 5 to the start line of the Provo 5K.
I met up with DeeAnne Hatch who I have been helping with the couch to 5k program the last 9 or so weeks. She has lost 95 pounds over the last 11 months and this was her first ever 5k.
In practice we had done 3 miles and the fastest was about 36 minutes. We were hoping to get under 35. Well...she rocked it! She came in at 32:52ish!!!! She was 3rd in her age...and surprising to me I was also 3rd in my age. When I run my best and try to place I sometimes don't make it but I run slower and get in....what gives? :)
Anyway...it was a super fun race! Such a joy to watch DeeAnne through this journey!
Tom and I were the only ones to show up today. I'm glad this wasn't last week when Tom had a 5K he was doing or I would have been alone. It is so much easier running with someone than alone! Thanks Tommy! :)
