| 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: |

a.m. Recovery run with Jen in Rolling Prairie. You definately use different muscles in trail vs. road running. I'm not as rough as I thought I'd be, but really needed to do a run today :)
My lower leg (where I thought there was a stress fracture) was pretty sore on the run. So I came to the conclusion that it might be the "adventure" or trail races. From running on uneven ground where your foot is constantly trying to stabilize. Grooves in the half frozen mud....etc. It won't keep me from doing another one, I'm just alittle more cautious.
Okay.... this weeks goal....running 6 days (again). Sun 4 Mon 4 or 5 Tues 5 Thurs 5 Fri 5 Sat 5. | | Comments(1) |

a.m. Treadmill 4 miles. It was work this morning to stay on the treadmill. What keeps me going is knowing there is no chance to reach my goal if I don't stick with the plan.
p.m. Weight Trained at the gym. Upper body. You can tell it's the beginning of the year, there was twice the amount of people. | | Comments(2) |

p.m. Ran La Porte with Jen and Rick. It was a strain pretty much the whole way. My leg was sore, actually both of them were sore. I got home in time to watch Biggest Loser. My favorite show. Ok it's about the only tv show I watch. It amazes me to see the transformations. Although each season there's more crying, that gets old! Jodi rule would be... if you cry your outa here.
Oh.....and my Garmin Forerunner came. I tried figuring it out last night. YIKES! There's alot of stuff. I have freakishly small wrists so it hangs over but that's okay, Im not making a fashion statement. Although Heather came home, laughed and said oh mom....I'm sorry, it didn't look that big at the store.

p.m. Ran 4 miles outside with Greg, Jen and Rick in Rolling Prairie. It felt extremely cold.... but my car temp said 12 degrees, sure felt colder.
My goal was 5 miles for today so I came home and jumped (not really, I ran) on the treadmill for a mile. :) | | Comments(2) |

a.m. Treadmill My legs are really sore so I slowed it down but still did the 5 miles.
I finished out the week most of my goals. Ran 6 times, Friday's run I cut short by 2 miles due to time restraint and didn't finish it up in the evening because I was sore on the right lower leg again. Wanted to make sure I could get the 5 miles in today. | | Add Comment |
