Great to see that she loves the sport enough to even do it while not considered "elite".
Come on guys, 27:31 equates to a sub 29 min. 8K..... she's got some level of fitness, not just a jogger-kind-of-fitness! Seriously, how many women in your area are even running under 30 min. for 8K? Probably very few. She's probably training to qualify for the 2008 Olympic Marathon Trials.
My guess is she's still at her competition weight and would have a good jump towards getting in top shape again.
There's a masters woman here who routinely goes sub-27:00 in cc 8K!

I would say not bad for someone with a life beyond running. I'm sure she could accomplish just about whatever she wants, and this is probably what she wants. What did you guys place at Manchester this year?
Good for Julia! she looks healthy and much hotter now a days.
Ms. Stamps is the Fila rep in my region...seems pretty happy and healthy to me, and looked pretty fit when I saw her not too many days ago. She's definitely the most positive, enthused rep we've got. Not sure what her plans/goals are, but she has a good coach and great approach to her career and life, in my opinion.

Who's her coach, Groat?

Julia is a dozen years older than me. I hope that I am able to enjoy running for as many years as she has. My sister always talked about her when she was in high school and I got to run with her this summer in Central Park with Nike training runs. She made the runs a lot of fun. She just kept encouraging us and took the time to really talk to us and give her advice and opinions. I didn't know she worked for Fila, I thought she worked for Nike.
the only reason any of this matters is because she is so freakin hot; if she were a dog who'd care. what a babe.
Her coach is Brad Hudson, he looks to be doing a shitty job.
She is prob faster than 99% of the people on this board.
