I love my life. I am a wholly imperfect Christian in desperate need of daily mercy. I have the most wonderful husband, MrKarlwithaK. Lots of kids, mostly grown, all of them great. I am a graphic designer - www.nancycarterdesign.com. I am inexplicably and abundantly blessed with fabulous friends and family. I'm obsessed with food. A vegetarian wannabe. I'm at the gym, running, or cycling nearly everyday. I'm not fast or athletic but I keep moving and trying to improve. I love to shop. I love the smell of oranges and vanilla but not necessarily together. My favorite season is summer but I love Christmas. My favorite color is yellow but I look like crap in it. Most people would guess that I love pink best as all of my favorite toys are some flavor of pink.
I just finished my 3rd 1/2 marathon and I'm training for my first FULL in Feb. My cycling goal this summer is the Seattle to Portland (STP), 200 miles in 2 days. I finished an Olympic distance tri last year and have several Sprints under my belt. These last three years mark the *only* time in my life that I have done anything that could be described as 'athletic', unless you'd descibe Jane Fonda VHS (eek! dating myself) as athletic. Back in my school days, I was quite stellar at not dressing out or applying myself in gym class. Today, whether it be a local 5K fun run with girlfriends, or a cold swim across the lake, cycling somewhere new and far, or a long run in my neighborhood, I have grown to love moving my body, the feeling of accomplishment, and well-earned bragging rights.
I do not have any running logs yet.
