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.  Didn't get to run this morning. Red must of had something treed, he was off our property howling and carrying on.  Since I don't know anything about hunting dogs, I just called and whistled (sort of).  After about 25 minutes, I yelled "off", and it took another 5 before he was back in the yard.  **Not a great way to start the morning, but I figured I must have needed the break from running.  I am alittle sore from yesterdays run.  So I guess I'll use the dog as my excuse for being lazy.
