Short-Term Running Goals:


I've decided that the reason Africans win marathons is because their training program consists of the threat of being eaten by lions and trampled by Elephants. I'd run like @%#$ too if a hungry lion were chasing me!

Long-Term Running Goals:

Run Susan G Komen 3 day, 60 mile race for the cure
Qualify for & Run in Boston Marathon

Personal:

In October '09 I weighed 248 lbs, and slept 16 hours a day.  I was miserable.  I decided to change that.  So far I've lost nearly 80 lbs, and started running.  It's been my dream, ever since I was a fat little kid, to run in the Boston Marathon... because I was born there.  Now I'm on a journey to the road home.

Married since 2001, had beautiful baby girl in July 08.

I ran 13 miles down a mountain and lived to tell about it.  I AM AWESOME!  Also pregnant, diabetic, vibrams... WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE?  No excuses!  If I can do it, you can do it.
Put my first half marathon in the books and pardon me while I sport my first racing-bling when we go to the movies tonight like an overtly prideful fool just asking to be struck down by God ;)

Nice! Wear that race bling with pride! Also, good luck with the pregnancy.
