Running Accomplishments:

I'm a 40+ "used to be"...

7 years ago had BAD case of frostbite and nearly lost my feet.  Stopped running (obviously) & gained LOTS of weight.  Started jogging again when local community club needed a coach and found out that exercise helped to increase circulation in my affected areas as well as decreased overall weight which helped to take pressure off my feet.  Still deal with neuropathy and Reynauds--but do not take ANY pain meds to manage the pain.  Gotta' love running!!!

SO, any past accomplishments do not matter....only that I can get ut the door almost every day and run another run.

Short-Term Running Goals:

Currently building base to lead up to traditional Marathon

Goals:

Have not yet decided on race schedule for this year, but am shifting focus from ultras to trying to nail down some shorter speedy races and a tradtional marathon.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Keep running for as long as I can & share the knowledge that God has graced me with by continuing to coach as well.

Personal:

Son:  Drew...currently runs for Adam's State!!

Currently Coaching:  Revolution Running

Day Job:  St. Joe's Veteran's Home

Vista Trailhead near Eldorado Springs

Unbelieveably gorgeous weather out for a run.  Got to the trailhead to mee tup with our Sunday crew and Stephanie joined as well!  YAY--there are not many women in our group and I welcomed some amazing company.  It was so warm, we had to change into lighter layers.  Gotta love Colorado weather.

So, almost right away, i noticed that I could not catch my breath (phew!  Steph is speedy!!).  Last night, I got a tad hypothermic (related to my Reynauds...sigh...) and I must have been more affected than I was willing to admit. (Drew had wrapped blankets around me and set dogs on my lap as extra warmth).

Luckily, i had someone to keep me going, or I might have turned right back.  Got suprememly lost (not sure Stephanie will EVER trust me ont he trail again!),  and got to explore some of the trail that I had yet to see.

Ankle felt great (i think 5 or 6 weeks post sprain), no audible clicking, but then again, over my heavy breathing, who would have heard??
