History
I started running in January of 2004 to get in shape. I had gained too much weight and felt terrible. I was able to run my first 5K 3 months later. 2 years later and 50 lbs lighter, I have continued to push for greater goals and have run 5 marathons and I am training for an Iron distance triathlon now. Everyday I wake up with a positive attitude towards life, training and my future.
Marathons Completed
Arizona RockNRoll 2007
Salt Lake City Marathon 2006
Steamboat Marathon 2005
Boulder Backroads 2005
Las Vegas Marathon 2005

Friday !
March 31, 2006
Friday has become my favorite day of the week. Not because it is the end of the work week but because it is a rest day from training --- except today. Balancing the demands of work, family and training has got to be the hardest part of preparation for a race. But all three interlace to be part of your life and you cannot have one without the other two. Having to work tomorrow - which normally would be a moderate run, I needed to switch things around to get my mileage in this week. So this morning I ran 6 miles. I did feel pretty good this morning and had a bounce in my stride, much better than earlier this week. My confidence is back up there. I have planned to get in about 1 hour of swimming this afternoon and a bike ride. So we'll see how things go. I am looking forward to Daylight Savings this weekend so that I can now get in more training in the evenings outside.
