About me: 
I'm a fun person, love life, like to tip a glass once in awhile, appreciate the views when I run (scenery and the two legged ones), take time to stop and smell the flowers (not when running) . 2009 was a great year running, again continuing to improve and set new PRs. I'm healthier than I've been in a long time, have lost close to 25 lbs and down to about my weight when I was 40. 2010 has not been a good year. Work prevented me from running until late March, and then a series of calf injuries have been keeping me off my feet. Up and running right now (Mid July), but struggling with the runs and endurance. Of course these heat waves and high humidity isn't helping. But I'm still breathing, smiling and hitting the pavement
Why do I run: 
The exercise, the sceanery, the challenge, the peace and solitude and of course the people. Runners are just great people.
Why I started running: 
I started running 6 years ago to surprise my youngest son by running a road race with him before he went back to college, Goals for 2008 2007 PR 2008 PR 2009 5K 21:46 7:02 pace 21:26/6:54 20:51/6:43 5M 38:21 36:38/7:20 None 10K 47.14 none Turkey day 1/2M none 1:44:216/7:58 1:40:08/7:39
