| 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. Ran w Greg & Rick in Rolling Prairie. Scheduled 5 miles, ended up with 6 miles. Ran outside since it warmed up to 12 degrees. FELT INCREDIBLE!!! I could of went further. I really think this running 6 days a week is helping. I feel alot stronger. Or maybe I've been cooped up on a treadmill for a week and just needed to get out. For whatever reason I had an awesome run!!!
This weeks goal: Run 6 days, 5 miles each. Su-Mo-Tu-Th-Fr-Sa

a.m. OUTSIDE RUN :) I got to run outside because I don't have to work today (office closed) so I could wait until the sun came up to run. Yippee. I dressed way to warm for 14 degrees.
Now I can mark that off my "Things Todo Today" list.

a.m. Ran by my house outside. 12 degrees ZERO with windchill. It wasn't to bad. There was a light snow in the air, the roads were started to drift and cover patches of ice underneath. I made it back with no injuries to report. The best part is: I MET MY GOAL AGAIN THIS WEEK!!!! WOOHOO!!!
Next week I'm increasing the mileage on 3 of the days. See blog tomorrow for details.
Have a great day! I'm off to Chicago with my daughter to look for a formal dress for her dance. | | Comments(2) |
