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:

Total Distance
7.00

2 weeks out from sprain.

Drew set up a meet up with Brandon at Bear Creek Park for a nice Turkey day run.  He was able to run with Brandon and his Bro Kevin (just back from D1 nats).  We decided to jsut go for an hour and meet back at the cars, as they wanted to run the trails and I am not quite there yet with my ankle.

First 30 minutes felt GREAT at 7:20's, but then the wheels came off.  Just enjoyed the rest of the "time" at a decent recovery pace and met the boys on their return.

Will rest the ankle again tomorrow.

BEAUTIFUL weather.  Started out a bit windy, but found myslef running in short-sleeves and arm warmers with shorts.  MAJOR temp difference for Drew coming down from Alamosa.  Kevin was bundled in long sleeve, hat and half tights...Drew in short-shorts and short sleeve and sweating!

Sad about the ankle and dealing with more pain issues than usual, but VERY thankful tohave this T-Day with the Drew-ster!

Going to see new harry potter tonight!!
