I am married with 3 lovely children 26, 18, &12and a dog named Koda and a cat named Blue.  Love to run and be outside.  I believe that if you think you can do it and you work hard enough any thing is possible.   Life flashes by in the blink of an eye, enjoy it while it last and remember there is a lot more to life than running. I coach high school swim and love it!

Ran by myself down to the finish line and had the pleasure to meet Desiree Davila, I talked to her for a min she was super nice.  Felt all the excitement of the finish area and then ran back to my hotel.

Drove up to Maine with Ericka, Mckenzie and Rebecca.  It was beautiful and and enjoyed it a lot.

I guess I will put something in here so you all can feel bad for me;)  This was one of the most horrible races for me.  Knowing that it was going to be hot I didn't have high expectations but still wanted to run well and though I could run and easy 3:30 marathon.  Had a fun bus ride up and hung out with Mckenzie, Rebecca, and Melody at the start.  It was already in the 70's and getting hotter.  I was drinking my prolytes and sitting in the shade all that we could.  it came time for all them to leave for wave one and i wanted to cry.  Sat there until it was my turn to go to my corral and was herded to the start.  i was in the 1st corral which was really cool to start up front, i was standing next to a girl that recognized me from the blog even know she's not on it.  Then we were off,  my plan was to drink gatorade at every water stop and dump water on me as well, it was already 78 and felt really hot to me.  i never felt good side cramps starting at mile 2, by 7 i was so hot despite feeling like I was at a water park and by 10 i wanted to be done.  My stomach was just bloating up from drinking and I was so thirsty I had to drink.  By 18 it was 87 and I was feeling so bad I started to walk, this was depressing but I made a decision walk or end up in the hospital and i didn't want to end up there.  I would go through times of crying, running, walking and just plain weaving but I wanted to finish so I just plugged on till I finished.  I am disappointed but do realize it was beyond my control.  It is what it is and am happy for my friends that did well because not very many people did.  my splits aren't worth putting up.
