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.

Today was Greg's 54th birthday. He has a tradition of running 10 miles on his birthday.  This year I, Jen, Brian and Molly joined him.  We had a lot of fun.  Brian and Molly (newbies) commited to 8 miles.  At first it was snowing with 12-20 mph wind gusts. But the snow stopped and it was just a great run.

I had 8 miles scheduled.  Ran in Rolling Prairie with Jen and Greg. It was so incredibly windy (not to mention the rain).  I was wiped out after 5.  Great resistance training. I wish the rain was summer rain....(warmer).

I'm going to sneak out and get a run in this morning.  Heather has a GR formal dance tonight.  So it'll be all about her later.  (my choice).   :)

Yay!!!  I got it finished. 8 miles outside.  Windy but had Heather drop me off so the wind was to my back most of the time.
