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.

a.m. Ran in Rolling Prairie with Greg, Jen and Rick.  Brian and Molly ran/walked 5 miles.  Not as warm as yesterday but still alot nicer than what it's been.  The run went so well I'm holding back from going out again.

****GOAL MET*******

Okay... I'm finally caught up with logging my miles. It was such a crazy week and actually the next two dont look much better.

 Next week's goal:

Due to other things todo (Heather's Senior Night) I'm running Wednesday and using Thursday as my off day.

So it will be something like this:

Sun 7 miles**Mon 6 **Tues 7**Wed 7**Fri 7**Sat 6

p.m. Ran Rolling Prairie with Greg.  Brian and Molly.  Greg and I ran at a much faster pace than usual.  Felt great (at the time)...we'll see how tomorrow feels.  :)  I had scheduled 6 miles but did 5 faster instead.  I will still consider my weekly goal met. WOOHOO.

GOAL MET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
