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.

October 2 & other runs

WOW! I suck! I cannot believe it's been three weeks since I updated my runs. I thought I missed last week but didn't realize I had missed two full weeks of long runs.

I'll start with this week's runs. They were great!!! The weather has cooled off a little so running is sooo much easier. Tuesday night was a great 4.8 mile run. I ran the first two miles at less than a 9 min mile. I was feeling great! I then decided that running with my friends was more important so I held up and then ran with them. I'm glad I did because we solved a few world issues :-). I missed Thursday's run but did get out on Friday morning. It was only 72 outside so running was great. I was running an 8:20 to 8:40 pace. I had to force myself to slow down. AWESOME!!!! I'll write more later about today's run.
