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

Downed Pepto Bismol this morning and was suppose to run 14 today and I just couldn't do it.  Zero energy.  I was running 9:30 min miles.  Bad day.   I hope my body gets better soon.

Skiing with my family tomorrow.  I will spend the day on the bunny hills in hopes that I don't hurt a leg!

Sorry you're sick :-(

Be careful on the slopes, that's where my wife broke her hip a couple of years ago!

You've had a crazy busy week! Sick, hard runs, volunteering, the lot! Holy Moly. No wonder a big run wasn't in the works today. I hope you had a wonderful restful day with the family today and that this weekend will prove a good regenerator for you!

Hope you had fun on the slopes

I hope you are feeling better. Those flu bugs are rough. I had a stomach bug a couple weeks ago. It was horrible and I still don't have my normal appetite back.

I hope the skiing was fun!

How was skiing? My hubby goes skiing every Monday.

Hope you are feeling better by now!
