Blogging on the road to the Louisville Triple Crown of Running




Feb 19, 2007

Blue Skies Ahead?

Wow, the forecast this week looks like a runner's dream! Temperatures in the 50's and potentially the 60's this weekend - quite a reward for all of those who have endured through the chilly weather in recent weeks. Of course, this is Louisville so I'll believe it when I see it!

I think I'm finally hitting my "weather wall", we ran close to 10 miles on Saturday and though it wasn't as cold as it's been - I'm definitely ready for the spring. I love the spring weather here, when it's in the 60's and sunny, you feel you can run forever. I enjoy the feeling of packing up my winter weather clothing for the year and getting ready for the spring races - I haven't done that quite yet. Let's hope the Triple Crown offers some great running weather, the Papa Johns 10 Miler definitely could stand a cool down from last year! The only bad news is I now I have to start thinking about my transition to iced coffee drinks, moving from my traditional espresso.

Happy Running.

About Me


I've been a runner for more than 10 years now. I run Wednesdays and Saturdays with a group of good runners and great people over at Fleet Feet Sports. We train year-round.

I have run five marathons, ranging from New York to San Francisco. I still believe the Kentucky Derby Festival miniMarathon is the race I enjoy best because of the crowds, the course, and the spirit of the event. This will be my fifth miniMarathon, and my goal is to run it in less than 1 hour, 42 minutes.

When I'm not running, I work as a Legislative Assistant to Councilman Kevin Kramer, who represents the Hikes Point, Buechel, and Jeffersontown areas on the Metro Council.
