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!

First race I have done since SG marathon last year.  It was awesome,  really I was sucking air but I am fine with that.  I think I did just fine for the shape I am in, I was hoping to do flat 7's but ran out of juice on the uphill section.  I will post more later.  

So I warmed up on my own a little and then saw Jamie and we warmed up some for a 2.5 mile warmup.   Then the race I felt really good the first 3 and then kind of lost it in my legs, but all in all I was happy.

1-6:35 Wow I can run that fast still!

2-6:57  Another sub-7 shocking.

3-7:16  Oh ya I am not in that great of shape and can feel the up hill.

4-7:31 Opps focus Josse

5-7:09  Ok a little better

Then I ran some with Jamie, then saw JulieC and Melanie and ran with them for a couple of miles.  And some running on my own  and the last 2.5 with Luz and blurry vision.  Through this whole run I keep thinking to my self, I think I have started and sure enough I did.  Glad I was wearing black.

Wow 15 miles! I bet it felt good to race. Any other races on the horizon?

Great job Josse. Welcome back. It is good that you still show signs of having some leg speed! It won't take long to get it back. I always hate the "idea" of the first race back after a haitus, but I am always happy once I do it!

Way to go Josse!

Great race Josse! Just like riding a bike for you, glad you had such a good time!

From JulieC on Sat, May 09, 2009 at 17:03:55 from 207.224.216.203

Josse- you did great....considering...that always slows me down....and the blurry vision was another give away....women and running...the joys. Thanks for pushing me the first half!!! And thanks for an awesome cool down, the trails are calling us!! Happy Mother's Day too!!!

Great job. Nice sub 7's!

From dave holt on Mon, May 11, 2009 at 13:16:38 from 204.113.55.41

Good job Josse - I am worried about feeling the same way when I finally race again (I guess I did race at Painter's, but wasn't in good enough shape to REALLY race it).
