About Me
- Julie B
- 12 years ago in the haze of a hangover I read Oprah's Make The Connection. It changed my life. I lost the fat, I put down the booze, began eating in a healthy manner, began to walk, then run. Run On! I first began running marathons. Liked it so much I found some crazy ultra runners in MN who showed me the trail and ultramarathons. 39 marathons and 40+ ultra marathons later ( 15 100 mile ultramarathons in the past 5 years) I am sober, lean and happy. I am now inspiring others to run, as Oprah inspired me. Coaching beginning runners is a gift I like to give every day. It's not just about running..it's about all that comes with it: goal setting, empowerment, a belief in oneself, being true to oneself. 2007 brought 4 100 mile finishes, 2008 brought 4 100 mile finishes, a BQ and PR at TCM, a PR at the 100 mile trail distace at Javelina Jundred: 23:13. 2009 brought another PR at the 100 mile distance! Amazing. Lean Horse 100, a dream come true. What holds for 2010? WHO KNOWS?? NOT I!

Cute! Happy Birthday Topaz!
For some reason, I thought you'd had Topaz longer than 7 years. My running pal, Rocket the Rhodesian Ridgeback, turns 8 in the spring. For a dog his size, that's getting into his senior years. He's gone as long as 20 with me, but this past summer, he noticably slowed down. I didn't take him longer than 8 all year and he seemed fine with that.
Our younger Ridgeback, Nikki the Psychopath, gets bored with running after just a mile or two, so she's just not a good long distance partner.
You and Topaz are a perfect match.
What a great dog and a friend.
I read the previous post abotu you running into bears. Wowzers.
Way to go for Topaz to give you a head up on that.
Happy b-day Topaz!
All your babies are getting so big! ;P
-Michelle
No devil's food cake for Topaz, but did he get a special treat?
Happy, happy day Topaz!!!
Topaz barks a thank you! Steve, Topaz received 4 doggie booties handcrafted in Duluth by the maker of the iditerod dog and bear grease sled dogs for the amazing cost of $2.50 a piece versus the pair at REI at $63.50 WTF?????
