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

DONE!  Ran all over Holladay to Big Cottonwood and down to Creek Road and back to Holladay (Yes, it is spelled this way) with a friend.  She asked me to take her husband's place and run the Moab half on St. Patrick's Day with her since her hub decided not to run it.  Sounded fun to me, but didn't sound like a lot of fun for my hub to hang out at a rented house with a bunch of kids while we run, so he is staying home.  :(  Have I mentioned that he loves that I run? Ha!

See, there are crazier people than me!! Very nice, and a perfect day to be out there! Does Creek Road not totally freak you out, though? There is no shoulder to run on and all the curves....SCARY!

See you in Moab!

Heck of a run, great work.

Where's the miles? I hope you're just slacking on the blog and not still recovering from this run :)
