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

Sorry Amy :(

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't run this morning.

Maybe this afternoon :P

I took today off too just to make you feel better. Is it working?

From Derunzo on Thu, May 05, 2011 at 11:50:38 from 64.56.60.130

Bummer.... you're knee will be better soon. You just probably taxed it from that blazing fast qualifying marathon!

Now that Burt revealed your name, I can stop calling you Steam8. Ha ha!

From Burt on Thu, May 05, 2011 at 12:39:01 from 206.19.214.144

What? Amy? Who's Amy? I was just throwing that out there to see if she'd bite. Name by name I'll go through 'til I finally I get her to say, "Yes?" Then I'll know her real name. bwahahaha!

From Burt on Thu, May 05, 2011 at 13:00:46 from 206.19.214.144

Walter's the one that said her name the other day!

From Walter on Thu, May 05, 2011 at 14:17:41 from 74.82.64.18

I call every runner Amy. Don't you know that Burt?

From Steam8 on Thu, May 05, 2011 at 14:43:30 from 166.70.55.77

Burt...I hope you trip over a duck and sprain your ankle!

rattletrap...I hope you get bit by a rattlesnake (except, I don't think they have those up there, only around my neighborhood)

Derunzo -- What is your name? Amy Montgomery Farnsworth for all of you on FB. Add me so I can become stalkerish since I have NOTHING else to do! ha!

From Burt on Thu, May 05, 2011 at 15:20:38 from 206.19.214.144

Walter - what about that Mexican guy that kept trying to run you off the road in St. George? Did you call him Amy?

From Steam8 on Thu, May 05, 2011 at 15:47:57 from 166.70.55.77

Ahahaaa!Burt...my gut hurts!

From Lily on Thu, May 05, 2011 at 16:14:08 from 67.199.178.210

Walt never called me Amy.

Amy I hope your knee gets better. My knee has been acting up a little bit the last couple of weeks too.

FB friends!

From Lily on Thu, May 05, 2011 at 18:02:48 from 67.199.178.210

Amy Scott is the only real stalker on the FRB. He's just trying to take the attention off of himself.

Derunz, I think you typo'd. Your real name is Burt CUCUMBER. Yep.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Thu, May 05, 2011 at 18:15:53 from 72.102.73.98

Mike here... Am I the only one that knows Burt's real name is Buster Bluth?(just google it, you'll see).

LOL Rattle! LOL LOL LOL!

From Burt on Thu, May 05, 2011 at 18:28:52 from 206.19.214.144

Mike, I mean Rattletrap, the only reason you say that is because I always try to give you shoulder rubs.

From Derunzo on Thu, May 05, 2011 at 18:32:54 from 98.229.131.173

LOL... Lily you are funny. Burt Cucumber from Boogie Nights.

HA HA HA HA HA.... OH MY!!!! Mike that was the best picture of Burt I have ever seen! It looks like he went through 26.2 full cycles of P90X. Too funny.... I laughed hard at that one!

From rAtTLeTrAp on Thu, May 05, 2011 at 18:41:21 from 72.102.73.98

Burt, those shoulder rubs wouldn't be so bad with out your hook! Darn circus seal!

From rAtTLeTrAp on Thu, May 05, 2011 at 18:46:31 from 72.102.73.98

If you like Spinal Tap, you'll love Arrested Development!

Sorry Amy, it seems that we have completely hijacked your blog post. You should go for a run and give us something better to talk about :)

From KristenL on Sat, May 07, 2011 at 14:42:03 from 24.76.204.21

Yes, yes, yes! I soooooo hate that. I have been going through that lately, too. In fact, I am getting groceries today (I got a wee run in, thank God) because tomorrow everyone will be out en masse and I won't be running and it is just horrible driving by... totally totally get this!

Having said this, stay tough. Chin up. Ice that knee! Don't you dare run yet. We're watching. :)
