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.

The good thing is the weather held off and was quite perfect for a race.  The bad news is the 5K was long and the 10K was short.  Grrrr!  I use to wonder why that was such a big deal to Tom and other runners.  But now that I am doing the running also, I understand!  I don't know my official time or place at the moment.  I think it was 25:30.  I will check the results when they are up and see where I fall in the age division.  I must say the age divisions with the most people will surely be 18 - 25 year olds!

Mile 1: Fighting the crowds and going up hill most of the way.  (8:18)

Mile 2: Downhill all the way.  Time to have some fun. (7:02)

Mile 3:  Turns and heading a bit up hill to the track.  (7:56)

.27:  I would have been happier if this would have been .10 like it was suppose to be!  I didn't have the kick I like to have at the end.  Oh well.  (8:02)

Over all ave pace 7:47.  I was hoping to get under 24:30.  I guess if it would have been the right length I probably would have done it. 

Tom and I had to hurry off to a family b-day party in SLC so we didn't get to see any of the results. 

****Results are finally up.  I am happy I ended up 2nd out of 26 in my age and 206th overall, including men, out of 1526 people!  Woo hoo!  Tom got 1st in his age!  Woo hoo!  How sad we couldn't stay for awards.  I wonder if we missed out on anything really cool.

Great job Kimi! BTW 7:47 gets you a 24:10 "true" 5K time.

Kim, it is amazing how many timing and course distance problems at races. I often wonder, are the race organizers just out to make money? Anyway, nice PR pace, you will get it next time.

Way to go Kim, it is frustrating when courses are not correctly measured or run ... grrrr. But, it is GREAT that you got your under 24:30 time, even under less than ideal conditions! Yea!!
