Month: September 2018

 

On August 15, 2018, I received the most wonderful and welcome opportunity to to boost my contributions and continue serving women’s running through the newly formed 261 Fearless Influencers project. I will join a team of amazing athletes and women who will spread the message of 261 Fearless to woman in every community around the world.

We have received so many life-enriching benefits though #261Fearless. We want to make sure women around the world can have the opportunity to share these blessings. These precious gifts include “giving us ourselves,” as Kathrine Switzer so wisely notes, new friends everywhere-forever, opportunities to play and run, and increased wellness.

I happily look forward to this journey and hope you will join me in this quest!

261 Fearless Friends

261 Fearless has given me a well-defined mission, with multiple strategic goals to accomplish along the way. The mission is to give women the gift of running/walking/physical activity. When all else fails, running/walking/physical activity is always there for me. I treasure it and look forward to it. It has sustained me through cancer and multiple losses. It is a grounding and stabilizing force. Goals are participating in 261 Fearless events, sharing the hope, friendship and opportunities, and contributing all I can, whenever I can. This is wonderful network of powerful and loving women. I am so blessed 261 Fearless is in my life.

Keep Questing!

Kathrine Switzer, Marathon Woman, #261Fearless, #261FearlessBeFree, #261Friends, inspired my husband, Ken, 69 years old and me, 67 years old, to train and try out for the Humana Senior Olympics. They will be held June 14-25, 2019, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

We are participating in the tryouts in Las Vegas, NV, October 13 (5K) and 14 (10K) https://nevada.fusesport.com. We have a second chance at the 5K, Stanford Campus, CA, November 4, http://www.encoregames.org.

Road Race Minimum Standards for Ken: Men, 70-74 (he will be 70 in December 2018), 5K: 23:42 and 10K: 53:22. For Women 65-69, 5K: 28:09 and 10K: 59:33, 2019 NSG Rulebook Updated(5.2.18)-2.pdf.

We have hit these times, except for the 5K for men, but it was 3 years ago. We decided to try out anyway for the fun, experience, networking and education.

I train most mornings on my treadmill before I go to work at my full-time job at LA County Library. I run 5K-10K most days, focusing on speed, rather than distance. I need to shave off several minutes from both my 5K and 10K. Regrettably, I have not been able to fit in a long run for a couple of weeks because of other engagements. I am doing the best I can and hoping for the best! Qualify or not, I will be glad I did this.

Ha! Didn’t know we were staying at one of the most haunted hotels in the world. I had an experience here before I found out! I was alone in the fitness center, Floor 2, on June 15, 2018,  at about 5 a.m. I was on the treadmill. Other interesting experiences started as soon as we arrived and continued inside and outside our room on Floor 14 (13)  until we left.
