Short-Term Running Goals:

Recovering from micro-fracture surgery on my right knee.  I tore the cartilage off of my knee while doing a speed-training run one month before Boston.  Doc gave me a cortisone shot so that I was able to finish Boston.  After the surgery, I was told to never run again. :(

Long-Term Running Goals:

QUALIFIED FOR BOSTON! April 16, 2011 

Ran Boston on April 14, 2012! 

Personal:

 

Married, 40 year old, mother of four. 

 

"In truth, runners don't race other runners.  They race against themselves: to conquer their wills, to transcend their weaknesses, to beat back their nightmares.  And while a runner can't actually beat himself, he can beat his time. Even years into running, he can get better." Running for His Life by Michael Hall

I woke up feeling good.

 Shoveled snow and then did speedwork on the dreadmill until I felt like I was going to puke!

Going to Cheesecake Factory tonight for a double date.  I am sure I will be able to carb up tonight and I am finally feeling pretty good.  That run just kicked my butt yesterday!

You just dig deep! Glad your feeling better. Snow? What's that? We have nothing on the ground.

Love, love, love the Cheesecake Factory! Adams Peanutbutter of Godiva Chocolate are my favorites (and the burgers).
