While I am still waiting for my foot to heal before going outdoors for a run (think speedy recovery) I have been thinking about the rest of you that have had to hit the treadmills instead of the sidewalks for the past couple weeks.  This COLD weather has made it hard but it does seem to be getting nicer and it was great to see a small hand-full of runners out today while driving around the lake.  I can’t wait to join you.   For now I am still riding the stationary bike at Cardinal Fitness or I hit the fitness center at Sport of All Sorts in Oaklandon.  If you see me at either place please come up and say hi.

hey brenda, GREAT JOB!!!! I remember the look in your eyes about 5 months ago when we were talking about this. Now look at you! What an achievement! How did your son do? I caught the video of you crossing the finish line (posting today on GeistTV.com) and you looked like you could have gone further (of course, I only saw the finish line, you could have passed out for all I know after you walked out of view of the camera). Maybe next year you can tackle the half???? ; )

Hi Tom. Thanks! It was such a great experience!

Thanks for asking about my son. He had to go out of town and couldn’t run with me:( Actually my whole family unexpectedly had to go out of town and of course that would usually include me but there was no way I was going to miss that race. Not after all this hard work! Althought it was a bummer not having them at the finish line.
No I did not pass out after I was off camera, but I had thought about it a few times at about 2.5 miles (did I mention that I was sick that day? yes, really)

I saw the video. How cool is that?? I can’t get over what a first class event this has been. I have submitted my e-mail address for notification once registration has opened for next year! I haven’t decided yet if I want to tackle the half or dramatically increase my time on the 5k I am thinking half. Either way, I am in!

Sweet.
