Well, you may be wondering where I have been, and honestly I can say I have no idea, where have I been. I think working or sleeping maybe running, yeah I think running. My latest and greatest accomplishment was the Spokane Half Marathon. This is my second time running it a beautiful course very colorful and challenging. I forgot how hilly the course was until I was in it. The morning started off cold I think 27 degrees or so, whatever it was it was cold. It warmed up into the 50s and was a perfect day for a race. Last year I ran the race in 2:07 and was hoping this year I could do it in 2:00 hours but of course I was a little skeptical of my training and time I had put in so I would be fine as long as I finished before 2:15. Remember I am the person that doesn't set the goals very high, that way I know I can reach them. Well, I got to the top of Doomsday hill and with only a few miles left I was feeling pretty good. I starting picking up the pace so I thought or maybe everyone else was slowing down but needless to say I came across the line at exactly 2:00 hours. YES I DID IT!! It was very fun to see friends I hadn't seen in awhile and then I got to run my sister in law the last quarter of a mile her first one ever how cool was that. I could barely keep my tears back when I saw her coming. How awesome she is and what a great accomplishment for her. I have a great sister in law. GO COLLEEN!!
