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. Treadmill walked 1 ran 1. I was short on time and planned to finish up miles after work. (Forgetting it was basketball sectionals and possibly Heather's last game to cheer at). So, went to the game (we lost). I'm glad we went, I have a lifetime to run. | | Add Comment |

| p.m. Ran outside, it's starting to get warmer out. Yippee. By complete surprise, my shin splints kicked in from pretty much the start of the run until about mile 3. Half way around I was seriously thinking about quitting and calling my daughter for a ride. This IS SO STINKIN AGGREVATING!!! | | Add Comment |

| p.m. Ran Rolling Prairie with Greg, Jen, Rick and Dale. It was really windy (39 mph winds) but only for 1/2 of the run. I iced during the day, then took Advil and a couple Aleve. So my legs felt better..... or maybe I just didn't feel them. | | Add Comment |

Lunch Walked at lunch with Kelly and Mickie. It was absolutely beautiful outside, very hard to return. I just checked my gogo gadget we walked between 3-4 mph. Not bad for a lunch hour stroll. My shins were screamin pretty much the whole time. It starts from my ankles to my inside calves.
p.m. Looking for an excuse not to run....(being honest). FOUND ONE.... went for a motorcycle ride after work. Then came home, made dinner, watched a tv show and went to sleep.
