| Location: La Porte,In,USA Member Since: Apr 27, 2008 Gender: Female Goal Type: Boston Qualifier Running Accomplishments: 2008 = 10 races, 3 PR's, 1 first place in age division
I started running in 2006 at age 38/39. I figured the best way to kick the smoking habit for good was to sign up for a marathon. (I tend to be alittle extreme)
My first full marathon was the Chicago Marathon 2006 (cold, rainy year) 5:00
Full Marathons: Chicago, Kentucky Derby
Half Marathons: Indy, Chicago Distance Classic (3 times cool medal), Holy Half (Notre Dame), IU's Inaugural, Joker's Wild (St Louis), Oak Brook Half (ugly medal),Valparaiso Mini, Flying Pig, Virginia Beach Rock N Roll Times ranging from 2:30 to 2:00.
Short-Term Running Goals: I really would like to qualify for Boston in 2009.
Personal: I'm married to an incredible guy, Brian for 20 years (21 in May)!! We have an amazing 17 year old (soon to be 18) daughter, Heather. The two are my support system and cheerleaders. Favorite Blogs: |

WOOHOO!!! I did it. I finally accomplished running 6 out of 7 days. Not my goal mileage each time but felt good.
School Block by myself:
7/8 mi = 7:46
1 mi = 8:48
7/8 mi = 6:45
1 mi = 8:28
1/8 mi = :57
I wasn't trying for speed. Just ran and tapped my lap button at every turn.

| Goose egg due to lack of planning! My daughter was cheering at her last high school sectional football game. Thought I'd have enough time after work to get a couple miles in only to find out the game was further away that I'd thought. So tonight is family night. :) | | Add Comment |

late morning. School block by myself. I'm kinda liking this little route and keeping track of my time even though I'm just running as my body feels like it wants to go. I like running with others but this is a nice breather not having to push my pace in fear that I'll slow them down. Although running with my small group has helped me speed up.

| I'm not really sure on time and it's not posted yet. Race was awesome. Took place at Warren Dunes in Sawyer Michigan. The sand/snow dunes were crazy fun. A few were so steep that you couldn't even walk down had to drop and slide on your bum. Ran with Greg. | | Add Comment |
