Running Accomplishments:

I started running in January 2007 b/c my Dad and I decided to run the 5K in the Sunburst.  So off I started running, okay so more like walking, I couldn't even run a mile straight at first!  But I ran it in 32 minutes.

Then I decided to go for a Mini.  I know, what a jump!  So in January 2008 I started training for the Indy Mini.  I'm proud to say I did it!  I ran it in 2:34:04.  My goal was to run the whole thing and I did.  (5.3.08)

5.31.08 Sunburst (South Bend, IN) Ran my best yet!  1:03:23, and 10:13 pace, which beat my Indy Mini pace by 1:33 :)

Short-Term Running Goals:

I want to improve speed.  Yeah, that about sums it all up! I will do the Mini faster next year, no ifs, ands, or buts.

Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to always be a runner.  That is my long term goal right now.  I love being in races and seeing people in their 70's running.  What an inspiration!

Personal:

I'm married to an AMAZING husband, Patrick, who supports and encourages my running.  I have two kids, Gavin (4) and Samantha (2). They are what my life is all about.  I love to sing and do anything with music.  I love wheelin' in our Jeep.  I am a Tastefully Simple consultant.

Today was a gorgeous day for a morning run!!  I must say, running with Sami in the jogging stroller for 4 miles is way harder than running a 10K :) 

 I love being able to start running in the mornings while Gavin is in a.m. preschool.  There was no doing speed drills with a 23.5 pounder in front of me!!

I am going to start doing weights tomorrow, if anyone has advice on what is good to do with 3,5,and 8 pound weights, please let me know!

Welcome to the blog! It's always nice to see another person from Indiana. I'm in Utah now, but originally from Indiana.
