How I got here

I started running in February 2009. I ran my first half marathon in May 2009 in Ottawa, Canada (thanks to Donna, Candace and Justine who helped motivate me). To date, I have officially run 3 half marathons and put many miles on my shoes. My husband, Richard, has run many half marathons and 2 full marathons and is currently training for his third. He motivates and supports me in my quest to finish my first marathon.

I am training with many friends who I met during the ING training session last year with the Footworks group in South Miami. Sharon, Aileen, Carla and Felix will be the crew that share these experiences with me. Of course, there is Marin (my wonderful, happy and easy going daughter) who lets me wake her early, and I mean early, on Saturday mornings to push her 5, 7 10+ miles before she is even really awake. I love you Marin!

Come with me on this journey.

Tuesday's run

Tonight's run was good. It was cooler outside (only 80) so it seemed to be a little easier to run. My average heart rate was back to it's usual place even though we picked up the speed a little for the last mile. I am hoping that with the cooler weather comes some easier runs but something tells me that I'll just run faster. Time will tell. I will say that running almost 5 miles and burning only 400 calories seems not quite fair. What's up with that!!!!!????? I ate well today but really wanted ice cream after the run, so I ate some. Totally yummy!!!!
