The Kings
My blogs
| Introduction | I married a sailor, hence the blog name, and spent 22 years in the Navy (Jim spent 24). We traveled all over and lived in many states including one foreign country, Taipei, Taiwan as our family was able to accompany Jim there. We experienced many separations because of his cruises and unaccompanied duty stations plus two tours in Vietnam. So I definately learned how to take care of things by myself! I am a pretty independent person. I love being organized. It helps me accomplish the things I like to do. I started running in 1978 and have been running ever since. I have completed 19 marathons (#20 is coming up on October 1st), several 5K's, 10K's, and 1/2 marathons. I am going to do something new this year and run a Ragnar Relay in October with my son, Brent. I like to smile and be happy, I believe in honesty in all things, being dependable, being kind, and being with my family. |
