Next Goal...

                 For my 44th birthday I will be running a 1/2 Marathon in Richland Wa.

DATE: Sunday, October 31, 2010

30th Annual Tri-Cities Marathon and Marathon Relay

I will be running with Denny, my aunt Pam and cousin Emily

So today I went running around the lake in Longview.

Beautiful place to bike and run.

I got 3 mile this morning on the treadmill and then 6 miles around the lake. The lake isn't that big but I ran from our office and it makes it longer when you get lost.

I suck at directions.

                                           

Cooks Hill Challange 2010

We did it !!!!

 Completed the Cooks Hill Challange 10 mile run.

 Brooke & I

 Renee, Brooke & I

All in our matching shirts.

 And they're off....

There was only about 15 of us running this.

And of course started in last place and finished in last place.

Brooke and I didn't care as long as we finished.

This is right before the 2nd BIGGGG hill. We couldn't believe how many  GROSS dead slugs we saw.

Renee finishing way ahead of us.

Here comes Brooke and I bringing up the rear.

Brooke crossing the finish line.

 Me crossing the finish line.

We are still alive.

And Brooke and I beat our time from the first time we ran it by 3 mins.

Ya for us LOL

Courtney conquers 20 miles.

Courtney and I did the Tenino Trail today

Sept 12,2010

She did really great. It is kinda scary riding the trail since the

Tenino lady was murdered while riding alone.

Not many people out today.

There was a couple of guys that were riding, one on a Recumbent Bike (the kind you ride laying down)

They were behind us and every time they got close Courtney wanted in front of me.

 I don't blame her I was a little nervous also. The birds and squirrels were making me a little jumpy.

We rode to the junction and then went about 4 miles up towards Lacey.

Then come to find out her back tire was low, so she worked even harder then normal.

After the ride we got in the car and I asked her if she had bike brain? She said what is that?

I told her it is like feeling drunk without being drunk...

She said "YES" and started laughing.

I hope she doesn't know what being drunk feels like yet...

Had a great time today Courtney. Thanks for going with me. Love ya Aunt T
