Marathon Finish

Running Accomplishments:

My biggest accomplishment is that, a year and a half ago at age 52, I got my oversized behind off the couch and started running.  Not that what I was doing resembled running when I started, as my daughter told me, it was more like "shuffling".  I started with Couch 2 5K and progressed to the RTL Half Marathon plan.  7 months and 50 pounds (lighter!) later I completed my first half marathon .  Some would say that where I am now still barely resembles running, but I love it, am continuing to progress, and am not the last person to cross the finish line, so it works for me!

Short-Term Running Goals:

1.  Reach my goal weight by the end of 2014 which will be 110 lbs. less than where I started

2.  Finish my first full marathon, this October at the Marine Corps Marathon.  I cannot think of a greater group to run for, or with, and am totally pumped, inspired, and honored to be able to participate!

3.  That's year one.  I guess for year 2, if I know myself, I will plan to complete another marathon so I can continue to better my running and my time...  Clearly, I have not thought much beyond this October yet, it's kind of a major goal :)

Long-Term Running Goals:

In my lifetime.....

Maintain a healthy weight and active lifestyle.  Continue to run every other day and to use that as a vehicle to explore new places, until no longer possible.  Running and mobility are freedom.

Personal:

My cheerleaders:

My awesome husband of 29 years (since 1985)!

My son, age 24 and my daughter, age 21

And of course, my best running partner, my 1 and a half year old Australian Cattle Dog / Boxer mix, Carmen.  We rescued each other, and she keeps me forever young.

They are my inspiration and they tell me I'm their "hero".  Without them, nothing would have meaning.
