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.

Going to St. George? Bag the hotel and stay in one of our condos instead!
Tom and I slept in with the howling wind out this morning. We went to the church at 11:30 and ran around and around and around the gym. We took 5 outside laps throughout the time. We were in shorts and short sleeves so the outside laps were a bit nippy but it broke up the circles. I sure hope we don't have 2 or 3 months of a winter like this week.
I've been a bit grumpy and rebelious the past few weeks. I did go out with Tom this morning and loved being out. Ya know, without the wind and a foot of snow and only a bit of ice on the sides of the roads and only a small inversion it is really not that bad out there when it is 5 degrees. :)
Up and down Center street with Tommy Boy. No one else around except a few cars here and there. Looks like we are use to the low temps as long as there is no wind involved.
Tom and I had to get out an hour earlier than the gang so we could be home by 7:30. The first hour was my favorite because it was so sparkly and the snow falling was so peaceful! But it was also fun when 4 more were able to join us even though it was more slippery at that time.
Merry Christmas! After enjoying the morning with the family and a little nap on the couch Tom and I went out into the glorious sunshine! In fact, Tom even wore shorts today. Our neighbors drove past us while we were out and said "What are you doing out here? Go home and eat some pralines!" We told them there is much eating going on also. And who could pass up a beautiful, sunny, no smog filled air,winter day? Especially when Santa brought you new shoes to try out!
We saw other people out on the trail, mostly walkers but a couple runners too. We came home at 5 miles to pick up Rui and Grand-doggy Mu-Chan for another mile. With the two of them it is a lot of trying not to get all tied up in knots.
Tom and I on Two Park Loop in St. George. Not much different than the temps we have been having in Sp. Fork but hopefully the daytime temps creep up higher!
We were hoping for a bit of sunshine on today's run in SG. Tom was all decked out in his shorts but it was quite nippy. Luckily he is tough in the cold and I had longs on so we were ok. We went down dead dog road to the bunny trail, down around T-Rex Arc and past Tonaquint down to Confluence Park. From there we went over the two bridges up around the mountain to the end of the trail. We hit exactly 5 miles at that point so we turned around and did the opposite right back to our doorway to make 10 miles.
