Bloomsday in Spokane

This morning was amazing.  For those of you not familiar with Bloomsday I urge you to take a peak and think about 2012.  It is an amazing fun run complete with a killer hill that is almost a mile long.  For this reason I use the term fun very lightly.  Although we started at 40 degrees by mile 3 I am thinking we were close to 55 (or at least it felt like it).  It was nice to see so many younger kids...although a little disheartening as they passed me like I was standing still ~ oh to be that young again. 

I will be adding an event to my schedule which  I hope my followers will join in on.  My daughter's volleyball coach was impacted by a brain tumour at a very young age.  Please join us for the 2011 Joggin for the Noggin in support of families impacted by brain tumours.

The beginning of the hill ~ yep, almost a mile!

Hope everyone has an amazing week and don't forget next Monday is Mother's Day ~

About Me

My photo
Spokane, Washington, United States
Growing up in a small rural community in Eastern Washington allowed me to discover and grow into the woman you see now. I was born on March 4, 1965 in the Othello hospital and 18 years later graduated from Othello High School ~ go Huskies! I am now a wife, mother, and grandmother. I am deeply committed to emotional and physical health and work diligently to strengthen both my mind and body through exercise. I am a graduate of Whitworth University ~ go Pirates, and Gonzaga University ~ go Zags! My passion is focused on mentoring the youth in our communities by showing them the power of critical thinking and authentic leadership. By applying the principles of emotional intelligence we can successfully arm our youth with the tools to move our global community to the next level. I am currently involved with Big Brothers & Big Sisters as well as HOBY. Both of these organizations share my passion for youth leadership in the community. In addition to youth leadership I am involved with Vanessa Behan's Crisis Nursery. I urge you to view the links I have provided so that you may learn more about these special organizations.
