Short-Term Running Goals: I hope to qualify for Boston at the Chicago Marathon in 2010. I know I need to shave quite a bit off my time (a little more than 15 min) but I have almost a full year to do it & I'm going to give it my all!!!!! Long-Term Running Goals: I just want to run as long as the good Lord will let me! Hopefully that is a very long time! Personal:
My best friend talked me into running a 1/2 marathon with her in 2007. I didn't want to do it & hadn't run over 1 mile in my entire life. I didn't even know how far a 1/2 marathon was! I thought a full marathon couldn't be over 10 miles so a half was 4-5 miles. No one in their right mind would run farther than that, right! :D Long story short, I finished my first 1/2 marathon in 2:04 & was hooked! Although I had to stop running shortly after my first 1/2 marathon to conceive my son, I started back up again a couple months after his birth in June of 2008. I never thought I would say that I'm in love with running but I so am!
I have 3 wonderful little ones (Jayden - 8, Jaimison - 5, Johnny - 1) and a pretty great husband. We own our own business so when I'm not "mothering" I'm stuck behind a desk punching numbers. Running is a God-sent release for me! I'm not a mother, or wife, or secretary...I'm just running! I wish my husband shared my love of exercise but unfortunately he doesn't so I'm always looking for a good running partner!
