I can fly, or I can run
Halfway on Whidbey (the first half of my first half) - a glorious run, and my half marathon PR (1:54:30) until the Anacortes Art Dash on 8/1/09!
Random ramblings about running and life....
Runner Girl
I can fly, or I can run
I Am a Runner Girl
But now my task is smoothly done,
I can fly, or I can run
Quickly to the green earth’s end,
. . .
And from thence can soar as soon
To the corners of the moon.
Mortals that would follow me,
Love virtue, she alone is free.
John Milton

About Me
- Kristin
- Avid antique shopper and garden lover, runner, walker, skier, and yoga & pilates devotee. Frequent traveller to England. Voracious reader of literary fiction, travel memoirs, self-help books, mysteries, garden & decorating books, and a wide variety of magazines (Runner's World, Oprah, Prevention, More, Glamour, as well as stacks of gossip mags while at the Y). I also have a weakness for contemporary Brit-lit (Bridget Jones and sistren) and sweeping English sagas (e.g. Rosamunde Pilcher novels). English major in my former life. I love sweet peas, David Austin English roses, old houses, antique silver, china and glassware, the Cotswolds, chocolate, scones with jam & clotted cream, and Jane Austen novels. When I grow up (or in my next life) I would like to own a tea room and antiques shop, but for now I just visit as many as I can.
