I was injured (IT Band) for Portland marathon (fall 2010) but went and picked up my packet anyway. Ran Ogden 4:26....

In May, 2013, I will have been married to my love, Rex, for 16years. And it just keeps getting better and better! Two beautiful daughters. Emma (8) and Ali (5). This is my ninth year teaching and I love that I get paid to do it! Running gives me energy, sanity and is simple joy for me.

mmm. as I look back on the past two months...there is no way you would guess that I am training for (and have) and marathon this coming Saturday. Not exactly sure what happened (many things) and now am nervous that I am not ready. Goal is to put in more weekly runs this summer. 3 more weeks left of school...I can do this.

Can't remember time, but average pace for the 8 this beautiful morning was 9:02...so we'll see how sat goes. no use in boo-hoo'ing over the past. just looking forward to the future!!

First 16 miles I was so strong..no pain and averaged a 9:05 pace. Started feeling ill to stomach, finally at 18 I gelled and dry heaved....that was pleasant. The hills were killing my leg, shooting pain in the i-t band area. Finally, the last five miles were tears, hobble/walk to the finish (most important) I did finish. What a crazy day of emotions, pain and joy :) Even though I swore I would never run another marathon...I'm looking at flat ones for this fall already! Weather was terrific, beautiful view and awesome aide stations everywhere!!
