As an adult-onset runner, I wish that I hadn't waited so long to give it a try. I started running at age 36 in January 2007, did my first 5k in April '07, and then my first half marathon (IU Mini) in Sept '07. I'll never be one of the fastest runners on the course, but you can recognize me by my ever-present smile.

Weather stalking
Racing season is back and so is my obsessive weather stalking. As races near, I find myself first checking 10-day forecasts, then weekend forecasts, until finally my ultimate in forecasting is available: the hourly forecast. Aaaahhh, I know it's almost time to toe the line when I see the hourly forecast reaches the time when I'll be at the starting line. Tomorrow I'll be volunteering and running at the Mag7k here in town, then we'll head to Cincinnati for the Heart Mini Marathon. Even though neither one is a big goal race for me, I love the excitement of a race. Two in one weekend? Awesome!
