I'm a lucky woman who loves her life. I have an amazing husband who makes me laugh and challenges me all at the same time I have two very young, bright, funny, entertaining children and a job I love as a physcial therapist. In my free time, I'm a runner (slow but sure), a hiker, a writer (at least by avocation), and a human jungle gym for my little ones. This is my third 1/2 marathon, along with a couple fulls, but my first foray back into distance running since the two back-to-back little ones. (My running partner's favorite fact about me is that my kids are 363 days apart.) It's also my first attempt at any type of blogging, and I'm basically computer illiterate, so hang in there with me.

I did it! Yippee!

March 23rd, 2008 by writeontherun

I’ve been saying that someday, somehow, I would make it up the giant hill on the way up to the Uplands. I live in a hilly neighborhood, but this one’s a whopper. It’s about 3/4 of a mile, with a pretty good grade. I’ve never made it to the top. But today…I did!! And it didn’t even feel that hard. I don’t know what was wrong with me, but I liked it! I kinda felt like the energizer bunny, I just kept going and going…Kim was running post-flight-of-wine, and she kept at it like a trooper. I suspect that my freakish peppiness may have been helpful, but who knows. You know how the runs go, it will be her turn to pull me along tomorrow.

I’m pretty proud of us. We did a solid run in the rain and wind and cold, and we both did it with good spirits. Isn’t that really what running and friends are about?
