Long-Term Running Goals:

I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.

Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:)

I am married to a supportive and driven husband. Together we enjoy geocaching, hiking, camping, reading and playing games with our three rambunctious children.

Aside from running, I am a homemaker and a Mental Health Therapist. Running has given me the ability to better concert my energies between my family, faith and friends.

Great run up Mueller Park this morning with fun and talented company. Allie and Cynthia Fowler joined for an early morning run. Today's dress theme was "Clash like a DI runway model." I certainly took it further than the others but they tried;) It was a good thing that Allie took a bath full of glo sticks last night because it was dark! The headlamps saved us from several near cliff jumps. I alone accumulated 74 pseudo falls. The leaves were pretty for the last 5-10 minutes of the run, but it didn't matter because we entertained ourselves. Allie told us about the time she tripped over a raccoon, her early morning bread making days, and how she met James. Cynthia talked about dog bites, witnessing a finger come back to life, and someone who had diarrhea:), I filled in the spaces with urology matters, Fabio, and the FRB!. Great run!

Tara, how does meeting at mile 21 sound? That's where the course leaves the highway and heads south, winding around to the monastery and finish.

Kam- First to comment on Fabio and then I'll have your answer:)
