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!

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

It took me 10 minutes to get on here.  I could not remember my passwords! ha!  I am really hoping I am not developing Alzheimer's!!! 

8 miles on the elliptical yesterday. 

 My knee is still on the mend.  It still swells a bit and hurts if I do too much.  I can't run at all, it hurts my knee.  I have had a depressing summer and it has been hard for me to see anyone out exercising.  I still can't believe this has happened to me and am wondering how I am going to adapt to this new life.  I miss running and hiking every single day and am still tearing up about it.  I thought I would be able to get a handle on this and start to enjoy biking.  Biking is not my thing.  I really don't enjoy it.  It is nothing like running and just doesn't do it for me..... :(  

I have been able to go up to Bell Canyon 2X this week and my knee seemed to handle it okay.  YAY!! I was also able to water ski on our last trip to Powell for the summer and my knee didn't hurt, swell or get sore.

 My summer has been so busy.  I am getting ready to take my cute 5 yr old to his kindergarten test.  Life will be miserable without my little one around.  I was looking forward to this time of my life, so that I wouldn't need a babysitter to get out for a run......now I just exercise in my basement and I guess I will take my bikes out a bit more.   

I miss everyone on here.  I think about all of you all of the time.  I just can't get on and see what fun you are all having without me.  I just haven't been able to do it.  Maybe I will just post my elliptical miles and bike miles on here and try to come up with some kind of goal to work for this winter instead of the Salt Lake Marathon.  

XOXO everyone!
