A milestone reached!

This weekend, my lifetime mileage reached the grand total of 74,716 miles - or just over three times around the earth's circumference! I haven't actually traveled around the earth's circumference, but my running has taken me on a marvelous journey.

From my early days of running (skinny, pre-momhood)
Me on the left, good friend Joyce on the right














To running with kids...
5-month old Devon & Bolder Boulder

3-year-old Paul & Kickoff Classic












...and dogs...
Loki at Lake of the Clouds

Jester ready to run in Boulder












Taz and snow RUN!



...and running buddies

The female gang - Anita, Connie, me & Randall (and Mister Taz)
...and cold

The fellas (AndyE & Joe) in the warm days...











A gang of family & friends for my 60th birthday 60k run



Not to mention amazing races ranging from...
USATF XC championships 2015
My first Boston 1991



Better than races, the sights and sounds of all of the places I've had the good fortune to run through.

Exotic locations
Australian garden trails

Alaskan bog trails
Hawaiian Kilauea lava trail

And mountain tops
Manitou Incline - Colorado
Appalachian Trail in Tennessee -
Smoky Mountain National Park
 
Black Mesa - Oklahoma's highest point




















Coast to Coast
Oregon Coast Trail
Morris Island Lighthouse run with Randall - South Carolina























Loooong runs right through the middle of the U. S. of A.

And a run I never tire of - along Little Traverse Bay of Lake Michigan

Would any of this be possible without the man of my life, Mister Kendall?
I don't think so! I am one lucky woman with very happy feet!
