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.

My race ended up being a little more of a happy face than Tom's did today.   : (  Unfortunately he had to walk the last .2 in a lot of pain.  Took him 4 minutes to go the last .2.  I was happy he could at least hobble across the finish line. He did the 10K and still ended up with 2nd in his age.  He's probably down and out for a bit. 

I did the 5K and am keeping with my 2010 tradition of 2nd in my age.  I had a kick at the end and was trying to beat that 24 I could see coming on that clock, but I just missed it.  Oh well.  This is a PR for me and I think this course is kind of tough so I am smiling for my effort!

It was fun to have the 1st place girl from a younger division come up to me after and thank me for helping her have the best race she has had. 

Tani and Tia made a good choice to get out of bed early this morning and go do the kid's run.  Tani decided that she would do the 5K next time. 

I guess I'd better go play some tennis and some shuffleboard and swim and sit in the sun for awhile now.

Great job Kim, next time you will grit your teeth and find that extra grrrrrrr to get under 24, I am sure of it!! Congrats on 2nd in your age group.

I am very sorry to hear about Tom ... please give him my best wishes and hope for a short recovery!!

Nice race, Kim! That is awesome. I am so sorry to hear about Tom though. Injuries just stink -- plain and simple.

Hope you enjoyed your fun day. :)

Congrats again.

Kim, 200 comando points for the PR and another 200 for the second place age division. Keep up great work, tough course for a PR. We were down there this weekend, great weather.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

By the way, as hard as Tom works, he deserves a quick recovery.
