MCM Fredericksburg Historic Half May 2010
Heidi and Melissa-We did it in record time! Happy after the race in my motorhome.

Welcome to Heidi J Cox's Running Blog

Hi Runners New, Old and Aspiring to Be!



Join us as we learn, inspire and have fun in our chosen sport of running. I look forward to your contributions and suggestions.



25 years ago I was the top female runner in my high school. I began to run again for the first time last year since I'd never entered an adult race. In 2009 I ran my first two half marathons.



My goal is to successfully complete the Marine Corps Marathon this October 2010. I've come a long way, learned a great deal and have a long way to go. Join me on my journey and that we can inspire each other as we reach our goals. Happy Running! Heidi J Cox
