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

13.75

Was able to get my mileage done between events at the Elizabeth Invite track meet. SO, warmed up with the milers, watched the race, then did 4.5 with Angela, went out and did 4 more before the 800, ran around inside of field between 800 and 2 milers, ran while girls were running on field, watched 2 mile, ran some more and cooled down with the 2 milers. Phew! that was a very long (timewise) way to get my mileage in...and more importantly, it inhibited my between event feedings...

Wow that sounds like a pretty long day, I remember sitting on the infield waiting for my events, but never seen my coaches "put miles in"...lol

You must be the coolest coach ever! I work for a school district and the JH coach is going to have me run with the "distance" kids starting tonight. I am so clueless!! Hope she tells me exactly what to do! And hope I can be useful for the kids and coach!
