Welcome to the Blog. I am from Kent Orginally and went to Highschool at Thomas Jefferson. Nice to see someone on here from back home. I tend to do a few races up there in the summer and over Holidays when I come up to visit.

Best of luck on your goals. Keep up the great training.

WELCOME ANYA! :-) Make sure to check out the race reports, those are the best part (and most inspiring!) of this site. St. George Marathon was over the weekend so there are lots of reports right now.

Ran with Kent group. I walked some of the way beacause they did the hill a few times. Walked back with Dan (X marine excort). A little bit more of a run than what I am used to. But great work out! I ran about 4 miles first in the morning. Then at 3 p.m. I ran with the girls at Des Moines Creek Trail in Seatac. Was very sore to run a second time, but already had plans to do that. I ran about 2.4 miles with them. Sore, runned out.

A  very beautiful morning at Roegner park. Was going to run with my friends but things both came up for them. Ran alone but really enjoyed the beautiful fall colors on the trees....yellows and reds:) Pretty chilly out there but pleasant with the sun out.

Saw a couple other runners. Felt good!

Ran early (5:15 a.m.), but felt later due to time change. Frost on my car this morning; so pretty dang cold. Kept my long sleeve on the whole time (that must  mean it's cold out). 3 miles on track, with a time of about 27: 50 min. 1/4 after mile 2 was a semi spring; felt tired though.

Fetl good whole way of race, except last 100 meters. Gave it almost all I had. Felt if I gave entirely everything, would feel sick. Happy with time! I hadn't been training as much for time, was training more for distance, so was very happy with time and placing. There were 52 in my age group of 25-29 yrs. Very happy to have placed 2nd in my age divsion!
