at my nephew's wedding June 25 2011
Happy Thanksgiving from the clan! (DH took the snap)
Pre-race about 15 minutes to launch, with Kenyan Mitei Enock. Mitei placed 6 with a pace of 4:38 and a finish time of 28:43. I took a little longer.

Saracita Margarita is loving life!
I have found my solution to the never ending cycle of YoYo weight. It's a combination of Sparkpeople and HCC!
2010 began with a firm commitment to get in shape: for myself, and also for my husband and a reunion with 6 of my college gal pals. We EIU alumni rented a beach house and spent a week talking, laughing, sharing. Just us 7 girls! I could not "weight" to show off my loss to them. I wanted to lose another 10 pounds before then but am not frantic about it. I'm so pleased to be ...

18 months later I just returned from a family wedding. I have maintained my weight and found reading "Younger Next Year" to be inspiring and motivational. Highly recommended.
I now run regularly and am seriously considering a 13.1 at Kiawah Island SC the end of 2011. My motivators are three: my husband of 29+ years; a SweatyBands.com rep named Merle (She has great joy in her life of which much stems from her great physical health and mental attitude) and John - colleague and mentor/coach whose current health battle with cancer continues to inspire me to NEVER give up.
After a hiatus of exercise, I am back at it, and in the gym. My knees did not want to do a 13.1 and I said ok - later.
My mentor passed away this month. He was laid to rest March 19, in Quantico, VA. I will remember his words and smiling face when I need inspiration to maintain my healthy life journey. Sempre Fi John!
