PR 3:14:17 St. George 2007 Long-Term Running Goals: Sub 3 hour marathon. Personal: Married. Stay at home mom. My husband and I have 2 daughters and 4 sons. And I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
With a seemingly impossible long-term goal of running a sub 3 hour marathon, the following scriptures give me hope:
In your patience possess ye your souls. Luke 21:19
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. James 1:4
But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Romans 8:25
Submit cheerfully and with patience to all the will of the Lord. Mosiah 24:15
And Ezra teaches that discipline and patience are born of disappointment. Favorite Blogs: |

| At the beginning of January, I registered to run the Provo City 1/2 Marathon. A few bumps in the road and detours over the next few months, so I ran the 5k instead.
Miles in:
9:24 min, heart rate 163 (88%)
8:50 min, heart rate 177 (95%)
9:02 min, heart rate 183 (98%)
1:02 min, heart rate 187 (101%) for .14 mile
Didn't get my watched stopped right away, so my time and distance read: 28:19.46 and 3.14 miles. Ecstatic with my time, considering...

| First time I've exercised with Alexis in a long time. Complications and bleeding with Jacob's pregnancy a few weeks following my Huntsville Marathon in 2014. The kids physical activity has really suffered over the past year and a half because of my inability to run. Began running again in December of 2014 with the completion of Jacob's nursing. Began to get back into shape, building miles over the next two months. Worked up to 9.65 miles Jan 31. Got pregnant with baby #7 around that time. Got sick for a month which threw off my running (thought it was a bad cold on and off--don't get sick with pregnancies). Lost the baby at 12 weeks on March 22.
Exercising on my own again since April 18. And trying to reestablish good running habits with the kids, now. Total of 42.5 miles for me since April 18, including today.
Ran/Walked with Aleixs in 40:16. Miles in 17:17, 18:53, 4:05 (.25).

Alexis 11 yr apt with Dr. Johnson. Height 59.75 and 85th percentile. Weight 128.6 lbs and 96th percentile. BMI 25.2 and 96th percentile.
My long-term goal of a sub 3 hr marathon pushed back again for a time. Need to get me and my babies slowely back into shape. Turning 37 August 2nd, my goal seems near impossible. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time...

| Ran/Walked 2.8 with Alexis. She voicalized her fusteration and struggled today. She knows how and why to run. And for the first time she seems to have a real desire to change her habits. I was patient and did my best to help her. This sort of discipline at 11 years old is a challenge to say the least. She walked most of the distance, so it took longer, but at least she didn't give up and I believe she'll be ready again to give it her best tomorrow. It's a brand new day.
Only 1.2 miles on my own. Out of time for today.

Ran 3 miles on my own. I was tired myself from getting to bed late and pushing the pace a little yesterday. Miles in 11:12, 10:23, and 9:49.

| Tried the gym with Alexis, but the men were playing basketball. Alexis was complaining about one of her legs, so I tried, but knew she wouldn't be up for even walking. We ended up riding bikes. She told me she'd ride Luke's bike and I could ride hers. (My bike is needing a tune-up.) We rode for about 1 mile until she tired from the gradual up hill. She sat on a curb and pouted a good while. I swapped bikes with her and walked Luke's bike the rest of the way home while she rode her bike. I have prayed for the patience of Job; hopefully I won't have to experience all that he did for the task at hand. Miles in 11:52, 19:10, and 10:02 (.61). Time in = success.
Ran 3.34 miles on my own. Purposely ran a bit slower than I have been and like to. Miles in 12:02, 11:06, 11:26, and 3:52 (.34).
