It’s a tie… either Bill’s Beer Run in Venice (Florida), the Palace 5K or Fiesta 5K/10K (Pensacola)

As far as GWTC is concerned… GWTC Christmas Party. Otherwise I would have to say vacation.

Munson Hills seems to be where I end up most often. I prefer back woods running over pavement.

Myron Herring(my husband), Ben Franklin, Jimmy Carter and Oprah are some of my heroes.

Fitness, fun and friends

I don’t know why but for some reason one verse of Robert Frosts “Stopping by the

Woods on a Snowy Evening” Frequently pops in my head while running (I had to

memorize this  poem in 7^th Grade and always liked it)

Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village

though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill

 up with snow…

I started running as a repeat graduate of  Dot Skofronick’s beginning running classes

 From 1989 to 1993.  I first started keeping a running log and running 5K’s in

1993. For about 9 years I conducted the Springtime Training Groups, but

 Have retired from those duties a few years ago.  My personal best time

 For 5K is 19:46 at Sickle Cell in 1999 ,  10K is 42:40  at  Springtime in 2001 , and

 marathon is  3:27 in Tallahassee 1998 .  I am  now  more focused on the social

aspects of running and shorter distances.  I participate  in the Winthrop group

 (Mondays) and Optimist park  Group (Thursdays). I  enjoy a limited amount of

competition,  however this is mostly just trying to keep Myron in sight.
