| 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: |

p.m. 27 degrees snow/sleet mix. (That's always fun). Decided to try to run to gym (5 mi) and ride home with Brian. Traffic vs. Treadmill. It wasn't to bad, only had to hit the snowbank once and it was when I got to town. Apparently the lady couldn't get the concept that there might be something ahead since the 3 cars ahead of her moved to the other lane.
Anyway, I made it to the gym. Brian wasnt done lifting so I hit the bike for 1.25 miles. Good enough. Came home and iced. My leg's pretty sore. Grrr | | Comments(3) |

Although it hasnt got delivered yet. That's ok.... anticipation. They felt awful....it actually bothered them more than me. | | Comments(3) |
