2011

Hello and welcome back. Yes I'm still alive. I know that I have not made a post in forever. For that I'm sorry but 2011 wasn't the best year for me. As you may know I lost my mother last year. I also found myself going through some troubling times in my personal life. Of these troubles I never told anybody. This post I hope to get you up to dated with some of the highlight of the year 2011.

In April I would compete in my 2Th half marathon. The race was the Rock and Roll Country Music Marathon here in Nashville. This is know as one the toughs races in this country. After having cramps at mile 7 my pace slow down. But I would not give up and I'm happy to say that I finish with a time of 4:13:07.

Later that fall it was time for me to put my pink shoes and compete again. In October Trisha and I would drive up to Mo. for the Inaugural Rock and Roll St. Louis half marathon. As a driver I have done this trip a million times. With a good co-pilot and good conversation we found our self at our downtown St. Louis motel. The morning of the race Trisha and I walk to the starting line. Yes we where that close. (Only a mile) The weather was perfect about 50 degrees and partly sunny. And the course was one of the best I have scene. I really enjoyed that walk around St. Louis. I turn in a time of 3:51:35. That is about 15 minutes off my best time. The big news coming from that race was that Trisha set a Personal Best Time cutting over a minute off her time.

Then in December it was time for the Rock and Roll Las Vegas half marathon. This would make my 4Th race in 12 months. Plus the race would be ran at night. It was the first time for this race to take place at night. The weather that night was cool and windy. As the race when on we had a lite rain. And again I had cramps so my time was not I had hope for. I turn in a 4:06:40 not bad for 45 degrees and rain.

Well that the good things that happen in the year 2011.In my next post I will try to get you up dated for this year. Thank you for taking the time to read my blog.
