qualify for the Boston Marathon
a long-term goal... 4 weeks ago

I’ve got a ways to go. I ran my first marathon in 4:38, which means that I have an hour to take off of my time. Ha! Baby steps. :) My first goal is sub-4:00, which I think I can manage by the time my next marathon rolls around (Grandma’s Marathon in June). I didn’t really train well for my first marathon, so I think that if I can stick to 50 mile weeks and lose a little bit of weight, I should be golden for Grandma’s. Then it’ll just be fine-tuning. Hoping by 2011, I’ll be able to qualify.



go on my honeymoon
Untitled 5 months ago

My husband and I got married in August of 2007, but we haven’t gone on our honeymoon yet! The first year we had no money, and they second year I had just switched jobs and couldn’t use vacation time yet. The plan is to go to the Dominican Republic in January or February of 2010. If we don’t, someone please kick out butts!



run a 5k
more details 5 months ago

I’ve run the distance many times, but I’ve never raced it. Hopefully I’ll do a sub-9:00 min/mile pace.
