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.

Personal:
Going to St. George? Bag the hotel and stay in one of our condos instead!
Tom ran the Nebo 1/2 this morning. I was hoping our running group would go to Payson and run around there with me and then be at the finish line when he came in but only Doug showed up. I'm glad I didn't have to run 15 alone. I was a little jealous of not running this race. It is down Payson Canyon that I love! But it is a risky one to try to do fast when SGM is just around the corner.
I had to make a trip to St. George for some condo buiness and didn't get a chance to run the past few days. But I did have a nice trip down with my mom and we went to see Hunchback at the Tuacahn.
Our Payson 20 miler is actually a 21.25 miler. It was a perfect morning for it this year. Never too hot or too cold and mostly full of non issues. I do have a sore heel on my left foot for some reason. I think it is because of an apple I twisted my foot on the other day. I hope that is all it is and not some running related injurty. My knee tried to get grumpy a few times but it made it through fine.
Tonight we are having a running group BBQ at the Ludlow's. It is always nice to get together outside of running and visit.
All by my lonesome today. Didn't want to try to keep up with the speedy ones and the slower ones weren't around. Added in a front and back lawn mow routine to the workout afterward.
Down Payson Canyon for the last time this year. Mostly with Mary, Alan and Stephen. Tom, Dan and Andrew up in front. I will miss my Wednesday morning canyon.
