USATF National Championships


There I am, 2nd from right in red shorts and white top. I am happy to finish 5th in the nation in the 50-54 group, but determined to run better next year. My crash injuries are well behind me but my 50 year old legs are ready for a break. My hamstring injuries have bothered me since '05. I'm taking acupunture and massage treatment now and hope to start training for the 2010 season soon. If I can run uninjured next year I fully expect to run a 54-55 in the 400. I plan to do more endurance training and maybe run the 800 also. We shall see.

Anyway, 5th at Nats in a season best 57.74 despite lots of injuries was OK. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
