Paced Dina for her 5k. We started a bit fast, but finally settled into a good pace. Course had a few hills, but I felt great. I tried to keep Dina right on the limit without blowing up. I started to overheat, so I dumped my long sleeve and hat at the end of the first loop and picked it up on the way to the finish. Some spectators/volunteers had told us she was first female so we knew she was leading. We pushed for the finish and they put the tape out. I slowed up and let her go ahead and break the tape for her first ever overall win. Really cool.

In November of 2000, I noticed that I was losing the feeling in my toes. The sensation traveled up my body and within a week, I was nearly 80% paralyzed.

First, with your upcoming 5K, I strongly advise you to check out the “Couch to 5K” training schedule. This training schedule is a GREAT way to get back into running safely and wisely.

If you are like many runners you may be frustrated at racing 5K distances and never being able to run them faster. Improve your race pace with this flexible 12 week program.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had weight issues. I remember standing on the scale as a child weighing 60 pounds and feeling fat. My family dealt with stress by eating.
