I slept in then ran through Santa Clara and along the Parkway trail. Great run! I love running in the winter so I can sleep in.

Thanks for the welcome. It was a great day to run. I usually run by myself. My husband and I alternate what time we run because of our children. Can't wait for the spectrum10k

Hi Linda, welcome to the blog!

I ran the big sur 1/2 this year (not quite the same course, the 1/2 is much easier). The same people put on both races, they are first rate as race directors, properly marked course, smaller field, and everything just runs so smoothly. Not to mention - it is a beautiful place to run and visit!

Glad to hear you had a good experience because we may end up running just the 1/2. Depends on if my husband and I have the time to train. Running along Highway 1 is one of the reasons I want to do it. If you want a boring marathon with no scenery..do the Tucson. Nothing to look at but dirt and weeds.

Welcome to the blog!! I'm eaves dropping a bit. Where is the Big Sir? I'm guessing highway 1 is that the california coast are? That sounds like a great place to do a half or full marathon. When do they do them?

Big Sur is in California about 150 miles south of San Francisco.

Here is the web site for the Big Sur marathon. It is on April 27th.

Ok Linda I feel like a dork, it just dawned on me this morning that of course I know you!!!! Then I just saw the picture and confirmed it. Sorry I am slow to have that click. I am glad you joined the blog, I was actually going to tell you about it when you were in the office in Dec, but didnt get a chance to. Anyways you will really like it. Is jamie going to join to?

From linda10k on Sun, Jan 27, 2008 at 15:03:59

Don't sweat it Marcie. I actually found this website because of your blog. So thanks. I was surfing the internet when I saw your "I Run Like A Girl" title and just clicked on it. This is what I needed. I was feeling a little down and needed some encouragement.

Jamie probably won't join. He's busy school, exec. council and basketball then track is starting up at the end of February.

Linda,

I have to ask - are you a Kryling(sp?). It is coming together very slowly for me. I am Bill Jacobsen's daughter. If so I have heard fantastic things about you and your husband.

From linda10k on Sun, Jan 27, 2008 at 20:54:51

Jodie,

Yes, I am a Kreyling. My husband works at Snow Canyon High School and enjoyed working with your father. Thanks for the comment.

From Jody on Sun, Jan 27, 2008 at 20:59:20

Linda, I am working so hard on getting my dad back out running and joining the blog, but he is stubborn. Nudge him a little if you run into him.

From linda10k on Sun, Jan 27, 2008 at 21:20:19

Jodie,

Jamie just said he was going to stop by your dads house tomorrow to look at his computer. I told him to nudge him. Are you coming down to run the spectrum 10K?

From Jody on Sun, Jan 27, 2008 at 21:38:00

Yes, I am coming down for the spectrum 10k. I am pretty excited because it is one of my favorite races.

From linda10k on Sun, Jan 27, 2008 at 21:58:57

One of my favorite races also! Beautiful scenery and fast course.
