See Diva Run

I started this blog to share race reports with friends on different message boards. At the time it seemed easier to type the report into a blog and share the link, than to type the report over and over… Then one day I got a comment from someone I didn’t know and I realized that people were actually reading the blog, even when I wasn’t posting links on message boards. That is like getting phone calls because you are in the phone book, and not just because you keep writing your number on bathroom walls! And so the blog has evolved to include my random thoughts on anything even remotely related to running, and a few things that aren’t.

I am now hopelessly addicted to several running blogs, which I try to read daily. There are just so many fun, interesting people out there, it is hard for me to keep up. Between blogs, forums and message boards, I have met many great people. I’ve even had the opportunity to meet and run with some of them in person, which has been an absolute delight.

Here are some random facts about me

• I live in the town where I grew up
• I have lived in the same house since 1982
• I have worked for the same company since 1978
• I once held the office of Civil Service Examiner
• I have served on several non-profit boards, and was the president of Christmas House from 2000 - 2003
• I taught aerobics in the 1980s, and was pretty serious about weight training
• I owned a bridal boutique in the 1990s
• My favorite alcoholic beverage is Malibu Rum, with or without pineapple juice
• My favorite hot beverage is black tea
• My favorite soft drink is Cherry Coke Zero
• I love Cajun food!
• My favorite spectator sport is baseball
• I only read non-fiction
• Back in the 1980s, I rode a Kawasaki Ninja. My son was the only kid at daycare who rode a motorcycle with his mom
• I drop the f-bomb at least 20 times/day. I am sometimes very creative with how I use it. If I’m somewhere where I need to watch my language, I make up for it later!
• I love clothes and shoes, but don’t care much about jewelry.
• I have 7 different purses that feature pictures of dalmatians
• I like cats, but I love dogs!
• I once owned a 16 foot Burmese python
• I’ve only got 5 “complete” toenails. 3 on my left foot, 2 on my right.

• I have many wonderful friends, but this is my “best friend”
  

If you aren’t tired of me yet, you can see a map of the half marathons and marathons that I’ve run or walked here.
