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

Total Distance

18.30

18 with my nephew Michael in 2:38. It was a beautiful day....my body is tired! I hope you all have a great weekend!

I had to take my husband to the airport yesterday for a medical conference in Vegas. I usually go with him, but this weekend is full of kid stuff and I felt guilty asking my parents to take over this huge task. On the way home from the airport, Jake barfed all over in the car and I got stuck in miles of cars lined up trying to get up Little Cottonwood that had been closed for avalanche shootings. My car smelled like puke, Jake was crying, I was about to pee my pants from too much Diet Pepsi for breakfast. I decided that I made the right decision to stay home and not make my parents stay at our house! ha!

Don't think I've ever heard a puke story as bad as that one, glad you made it through that simple little trip to the airport.
