Running Accomplishments:

I'm a 40+ "used to be"...

7 years ago had BAD case of frostbite and nearly lost my feet. Stopped running (obviously) & gained LOTS of weight. Started jogging again when local community club needed a coach and found out that exercise helped to increase circulation in my affected areas as well as decreased overall weight which helped to take pressure off my feet. Still deal with neuropathy and Reynauds--but do not take ANY pain meds to manage the pain. Gotta' love running!!!

SO, any past accomplishments do not matter....only that I can get ut the door almost every day and run another run.

Short-Term Running Goals:

Currently building base to lead up to traditional Marathon

Goals:

Have not yet decided on race schedule for this year, but am shifting focus from ultras to trying to nail down some shorter speedy races and a tradtional marathon.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Keep running for as long as I can & share the knowledge that God has graced me with by continuing to coach as well.

Personal:

Son: Drew...currently runs for Adam's State!!

Currently Coaching: Revolution Running

Day Job: St. Joe's Veteran's Home

Total Distance

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Got to the school and the kids either a) ran already cuz they are on their running break tween seasons, or b) were too dolled up to run cuz they (think they) have hot dates. Met a few new girls that will be joining the team, so the next couple weeks will be a challenge until all the other coaches are on board...

SO, went home to my 3 wonderful dogs, gave them a V-day treat and headed out to t he park for a very lazy 8. Really feeling some muscle aches from the last couple o days, but able to put in 2 miles at 7:20 (the rest were ridiculously slow..)

NOW for some post-run chocolate!!!!!

Isn't that what chocolate does to you? Wait, since I've never seen your face, maybe I shouldn't say that.

So far so good, except for the zits apaprently...but honestly, I was a bit sore and muscles a bit tight. But all in all not too bad! Must be the amazing energy I get from Matt and you!
