Oops

I tried to clear space in order to have more room for pics (because I used up all my free space).  I accidentally wiped out all the pics.  Oops...

This Runners Wish List:

This book & time to read it

Time and ability to race again


Time to watch Endurance
 Basically, time to do things that have to do with running.  I have realized more than ever how important running is in my life and how much I need it to stay balanced, healthy and happy.

I do love the winter but I'm looking forward to the sun being out after work so Rollins & I can run together.

Holy Smokes!


The lady on the left is 92 years old!!!  Her name is Gladys but I bet she is called Glady (look at her shirt).  What an athlete!  She just completed her 5th Honolulu marathon.  She first ran the Honolulu marathon at age 86.  Read more about it here.  This is just amazing.

I have been trying to figure out why I started this blog.  At first it was to train for a marathon.  Now it is for running long time in life.  Even it is one mile I pray I'm running in my 90's.

I missed Monday's run but I made it happen for today.  My problem is getting out the door.  Rollins likes to remind me that he comes first :)

And So It Begins [I hope]


After 4 weeks off, I decided to try my legs running again.  It was nice.  And frigid.  I hope that I gave my IT Band plenty of time to recover.  I hope I have no problems and that other parts don't wish to remind me I'm getting old.

It was only a mile but a glorious one!
