Blogging on the road to the Louisville Triple Crown of Running

Chilly + rain = not fun

Wow! I was excited about the warmer temperatures until the precipitation made it just as bad. We did speed night at Waggener High last night, 200m with 200m recoveries. I did a mile warm up and 3 miles worth of 200 on/200 off. We were scheduled for 4 miles, but as I entered the third mile, the rain really let loose. I was also having some pain in my lower leg, which I think was caused by running sideways along some embankments Monday.

Probably short run today, a little longer on Thursday, then off on Friday before Saturday's race. Weather is still predicted to be nice.

That's all for now -- keep on running!

About Me

I ran track (100 meters, 200 meters) and played soccer in high school. I took a few years off from running while settling into the academic grind and picked it back up in May 2006. I ran my first five-kilometer race in September 2006 and decided in November to go for the Triple Crown and the Kentucky Derby Festival miniMarathon. I am the training coordinator for Ken Combs Running Store, where I lead a Saturday group from the store each week.

I run at least five days a week, sometimes six, and it's usually through Jeffersontown and through the parks on the weekends. My 5k personal record is 21:45, and I'm shooting for a sub-2 hour mini - in part because I'm a bridesmaid in an afternoon wedding that day!

When not running, I manage my own media and marketing company. I freelance for several local publications, primarily The Lane Report and Business First. I also coordinate promotional efforts at Yew Dell Gardens in Crestwood. And, I am finishing my bachelor’s in communications at the University of Louisville.
