On a whim...
Fastest 5k in years: 24:30. (usually average 30-33minutes)
For the Bourbon Chase, I joined a friends team and we got shirts. 2 of them, so I asked for 2 larges. Well, I got 1 large and the option of a medium or XL.....
I chose Medium, To keep motivating me forward!
And another friend's motivation:
So true!

2 Months! Half Marathon for Charity - Any and all donations welcome!!!
Marathon Training has started. Along the way, I will be running
plenty of miles and races, including 1 half marathon for charity. I am 34% through my goal with ~2 months to go for the Half Marathon in Malibu.
Unfortunately, I cannot run the Susan Komen 5k race this year, so I will be
putting all my fundraising efforts into this half marathon. If you have
already donated, many thanks for the well wishes! Even the smallest
donations will help!
If you would like to donate (or pass to someone else), please donate to my
page (make sure you see my picture) here:

Running and Grandma Hanley
As I start marathon training, most of my runs go through the parks, peaceful, interesting, always different, and always fun. Kinda like Grandma.
Ever since February, the last part of my runs have always reminded me of my Grandma.
It's ~.3 miles, a slow uphill incline to a stop light. Regardless of what song comes on, or who I am talking to, I am always reminded of Grandma. It's just been my thing....
And running towards the stop light at the end reminds me of how Grandma would talk to me, live her life, our constantly inspire us to live our lives:
Blocked by trees= no worries, you know where to go, just follow your feet and keep living life to the fullest
Red = hurry up so you can catch it turning green again, don't rest and live the moment to the fullest.
Yellow = "nuts to the squirrels" or, learn to adjust life accordingly
Green = you can see the finish, I'm proud of you regardless of how you finish, or if the finish line changes.
Or, I can skip the light and make a left turn instead. But, then have a short/steep challenging hill, reminding me to keep pushing.
People come and go in our lives. But Grandma came, and still lives within each of us she touched throughout our daily lives.
Regardless of when I run (light/dark/cold/wet/hot), this light is always there, a constant reminder.

IMKY 2011
What an amazing day of watching people do something amazing and volunteering! It's true, volunteering at a race gives you the other perspective of races and how to be appreciative
The finish line is definitely the highlights (interacting or catching the following people):
- a lady from Arkansas telling me her story for 20 minutes
- A Grandpa on his 60th birthday
- a man on completing 50th Ironman
- a brother that had to race and beat his younger brother's time
- a guy with a make-shift splint from a nasty bike spill
- a man from Cinci who gives all his race swag to his elderly mother who comes and watches every race
- Uproar for a man that was 100-200yards away and not going to make it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5n8h0M7uOA8) without the crowd.
Same person, different view: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3e2pOmaaAOQ
- And the final person to cross (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kqIYowAIu4), simply amazing!
Probably the coolest people to see at the finish line were two friends, who decided to change their lives and others through 140.6miles.
