Blogging on the road to the Louisville Triple Crown of Running




Mar 31, 2007

Success!

Over. Done. Grateful. And, no longer scared of the mini.

1:21:05, so right on target. I was hoping for anywhere in 1:30-1:20, so I'm very happy with that. I finished in the top 10 percent, which is very cool.

I loved the courses, loved all the fans, loved running around the stadium at the end. Had a hard time finding my way around post-race and finding the best way back out of the stadium. Sore ITB now, but I think it's minor.

Our gang is doing the "hard 10" route through Iroqouis on April 14, only we're going to add an extra mile or two. That will pretty much put a cap on my training.

Too tired still for anything more.

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.
