I set a PR today running the Silverton Hospital 5k in 25:42 in Silverton, Oregon. I placed 50th out of over 700 and 8th place in the 40-49 age group.
Next up is the Iris Festival 5k in Keizer, Oregon, next Saturday. I'm going to try for another PR as I continue to work on my speed this year.

Do you want to be stress and anxiety free?
Do you want to be healthier both mentally and physically?
The medical community is affirming what is true in God's Word and proving that the Bible stays relevant in our day. I'm going to be talking about it this Sunday at the LGF Salem Campus.

I'm flying 2500 miles from Portland, Oregon, to Huntington, West Virginia, today to participated in the American Heart Association (AHA) Heart Walk on April 26, 2008. West Virginia leads the nation in heart disease and I want to make a difference in that statistic. I've been running races since October 2007, including 3 marathons in 9 weeks, trying to raise $10,000 for critical research to help fight the number one killer - heart disease. Click here to watch a short news clip on my running to help others.
Follow our fund raising progress for critical research all this week on the AHA Heart Walk website. <----Click here. They posted a picture there on their website of my family that met me at the finish line when I finished the 2007 Marshall University Marathon in November. It was my 2nd marathon in 4 weeks.

I'm 5 days out from running the Race for the Roses Half Marathon in Portland, Oregon, and you can help me reach my goal.
I was scheduled to do a 3 mile recovery run today and a session of upper body weight lifting, but.....
When I got up this morning, I was really, really, really, really tired. Instead of pushing myself like I normally do, I decided to listen to my body and not train today.
I know that not listening to my body will raise the potential of overuse injuries, but why do I feel guilty for not pushing myself?

I'm 6 days out from running the Race for the Roses Half Marathon in Portland, Oregon.
I did an easy 6 mile out and back run on River Road in Keizer, Oregon today. It was 44 and partly cloudy - a good morning to run outdoors. My time was 1:01:26 .
I've start my carb and H2O loading and will continue with it through the week.
I'll keep you posted this week.
You can help me reach my goal. <--------- Click here
Keep pressing toward the finish line!

I'm not going to let any recession slow me down from making a difference in my day. Are you?
I signed up for my next race today after completing a 14 mile training run. It will be my 5th race in 7 months including 3 marathons in 9 weeks to raise much needed funds for the American Heart Association (AHA). I will be running the Race for The Roses Half Marathon in Portland, Oregon on April 6, 2008. I have until April 26th to raise my goal of $10,000 for critical research to fight the number one killer - heart disease. It's crunch time and I'm pressing on toward the finish line! On April 26, 2008, I will be participating in the American Heart Association's Heart Walk in Huntington, West Virginia. West Virginia leads the nation in heart disease and I want to do something about it to make a difference.
I'm $8,500 from reaching my goal, but check out these numbers. I will reach my goal if
So it is doable and I'm not listening to naysayers that are doing nothing to make a difference in their day. If I can save one life, it will be worth all of the blisters, tendinitis, lost toenails and all of the running shoes I have wore out!
