So many questions from you guys & here are the answers for now...

I am leaving Sprint because I have been layed off. My last day there is March 27. Don't worry I have a nice company separation package. I will still get paid for a while. But I do need to find my next job.
This is truly a blessing and answer to prayer. Our family has been praying for God to lead me where I need to go and looks like the door at Sprint is closing but surely there is something special waiting for me. I plan to get in a lot of work out time in the gym and road work for race training. Looking forward to that.
Let me know if you have any job opportunities that I could explore. Please pray for God to show me my next opportunity. Thanks!

I will be leaving Sprint at the end of March.

Love to Run 4 mile

Here are my friends who were tough enough to do 4 miles in the cold on Valentine's Day. Maria Purtle, Johnna and John Perry.

I gave in to my cravings...

Today I had the option to eat out for lunch. I made bad choices. My head told me I wanted a loaded breaded chicken sandwich with cheese and cheddar bites with ranch dressing. I ate that while driving in the car and doing errands at lunch. After eating that my body said, "Yuck, I don't like all that fried food!" My body is punishing me this afternoon for my moment of weakness. My lesson learned is there are some cravings that we should NOT give in to.

Valentine's day race coming up...

Hope you will join me for my next race on Valentine's day at the downtown KC airport. See the following link to sign up.

My 2008 Goal is acheived!!!

Well, my friend, Mandy and I completed the goal of doing one race a month for the entire year of 2008. Whew! I'm glad that is over! That was an ambitious goal. Glad I had a fun and positive person like Mandy to do those races with. I think this year I will just choose my favorite races to return to and add a few new ones. Looking back I think my favorite races were the January Groundhog Run in the caves, Trolley Run in April around Brookside and the Plaza and, of course, the Nike Women's Marathon in San Francisco. I'm thinking about traveling out of KC for a few races in 2009. Also want to do at least 2 half marathons this year. No, I am NOT gonna try for a full marathon! I am too slow and would probably come in last. I will just stick with what is working for me which is 5K's, 4-milers and 1/2 marathons. Any of you in KC area who want to train with a group can check out this blog to train with ladies in the Northland. Northland Women's Walk/Run Club - http://www.nwwr.blogspot.com/

Last Race of the year!!! Resolution Run 5K - Dec. 28

Today was the Resolution Run 5k. The participants are pictured with this post. Johnna Perry is so creative and she developed the route starting at the Liberty Community Center and in the surrounding neighborhoods. All participants were given a tote bag with the race logo and Johnna's creativity came through again with all the fun activities that were planned during the route and asking all of us to donate $5 to Harversters. On the route we had to answer healthy food questions and add a canned good to our tote bag then at the finish line we got points for how many food questions we answered correctly. Johnna made up challenges for us to do during the race. You had to randomly pick a piece of paper that had a physical challenge on it. My Challenge was to do 20 Front Kicks (10 left and 10 right). Others had things like do 3 cartwheels or do 20 lunges or 30 seconds of jump rope. All the fun things that we did made us forget about how cold and icy and snowy it was out there today. Cold and fun is what I would say about the Resolution Run.
