Tulsa Run 2010

In 2008 I ran the Tulsa Run 5K with my friend Linda. It was my first 5K race and the start of all the running that followed. Since then, well, you know, I became a marathoner, but it took me awhile to get back into running afterwards. Jackson was my inspiration. He started training for the Tulsa Run Fun Run back in August with his school running club. He wanted us to sign up to run with his school team so that his coach would have to dye her hair orange (she said she would if 300 people signed up--she showed up the day after the race with orange hair!). David and the kids ran the Fun Run, and I ran the 15K (9ish miles). The kids spent an hour in the bounce house after their race, waiting for me to finish mine. What energy they have!

So I haven't been blogging about my running adventures, but I've been inspired by reading this runner's blog. I love reading about how she manages diabetes as an insanely serious runner. Check it out...you may be inspired too!
