Although I got a late start, I’ve been a serious runner since 1994. I ran my first marathon in 1995 on my 30th Birthday. It’s been my goal to run the Boston Marathon since then. I missed qualifying by 12 minutes that year. I needed to run 3:40 and ran 3:52. Running in the most prestigious marathon, is the ultimate for most runners. The fact that you have to qualify, only fueled my competitive juices.
Over the next 9 years I ran 6 more marathons. I love running so much that I became a

wasn’t it nice to get out with decent weather?!
Lisa,
Did you ever work in Nashville, TN? I think I know you. Your story is quite impressive. I am a serious runner too, but I try not to max out about it and just “have fun” and enjoy challenging myself to the next level. I ran a 1/2 marathon last year for first time (2:04) and was about to die in the end. Never stopped though. This year I am doing another 1/2 in nashville, and hope to improve my time and actually feel good (or better than L/Y). See ya! Susan
Good Job on the 100 for the month. keep your spirits high and one foot in front of the other.
Nice work on hitting 100 Lisa! I didn’t end up anywhere near that much mileage for the month. Keep it up! Boston here you come!
good job on hitting your mileage Lisa!
Thanks. I was feeling a little pounded after logging in 8 miles with the Yazzo’s. I took Wednesday off and switched to my new shoes. I’m feeling much better now.
