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!

"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

Jun (Craig) invited me to join a bunch of FRBers for a run at South Mountain this morning.  I coaxed my mom into coming over early to get the kids off to school for me and babysit Jake.  

We met at a Chevron and drove to the trailhead of Anne's Trail. I was feeling a bit nervous since it was 25 degrees on my car thermometer.  Jumped out and got ready to run.  It was nice of the guys to ask how my ovary was doing!  I know...I know....I am a TMIer! :)  Just for those of you who care....my ovary is fine, ovulation is over! haha!

Yes, I was the caboose for most of the run.   It was beautiful though.  I really enjoyed being able to get out and run a trail.  It is so much more fun than running on the road.  I was out of breath and unable to talk for the majority of the run and it is not like me to keep quiet, but I was really hoping I would be able to finish without passing out on the trail.  

 Thanks Craig for the invite and the great run. I hope to get in better shape soon so that I won't always be the caboose!  

 

Craig took this pic today up on Anne's Trail.  Yep, me in one of my new running skirts! :) 

I had to pay my mom back for babysitting by going on a walk with her after the run.  We went to Flat Iron Mesa Park and walked 4 miles.  I was FREEZING because of my stinky wet running clothes.  I then went to Costco and ran into 4 people that I haven't seen in forever.  Who knew that Costco could be so much fun.  I realized on my way home that I was still in my stinky clothes and was smelling pretty bad and had hugged everyone a couple of times in Costco..hahaha!  Next time I go to Costco, I am going to smell good and look cute, just in case!

ha! what a day, whenever I'm feeling gross is when I run into everyone at the store - any store! Hair done and make up on? No one in sight! :)

Nice job on the trail, wish I could have run the back of the line with you! I need to get healed fast! I'm missing out on all the best running days. Oh, and love the pic!!

Ha ha...you don't look at all out of breath in the picture. I don't dare put any pictures of me running on the blog because I always look like I'm dying! Good run...glad you had fun!

LOVE the picture!!! GREAT trail and running with the boys. I'm gonna have to check out that Anne's trail although I might be hiking more than running! Hehe!

You should go to Costco and hug everyone the way you are...I think it is very glamorous! :)

Hey Flat Iron Mesa Park is my territory! Does your Mom live over here? Just ran some of my run there yesterday.

you know you won't see anybody when you're smelling good and looking cute. that's just how it goes.

nice run with a great group!

Thanks for the update on your health. It looks like you have as much snow as we do in IF. What's up with that. My son said that it snowed 14 inches over night....... Lake effect snow! Great run!

Awesome pic! So happy:)

Ya! Trail runner natural. If you think your the caboose - I would be like a train car that got left behind...

From JG on Wed, Jan 04, 2012 at 15:55:34 from 71.59.27.33

Sounds like a great group run! Nice pic too, plenty cute enough to go into Costco ... but you might want to keep some kind of smelling spray in your glove box! :)

Stacie, Flat Iron is in between my house and my moms. She had never been there before, but I run around there sometimes. We should meet for a run!

JG, that is a great idea since I always seem to be wearing stinky running clothes! ha!

From Lily on Wed, Jan 04, 2012 at 21:31:58 from 67.199.178.210

That was such a fun morning. So glad to meet you and let's run again. I am serious. :)
