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!

"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

8.50

Heading out for 8 right now. I have everything from Christmas put away. It has taken me about 2 full days! I decided that I am not putting up Christmas next year! ha! I wouldn't let myself get out for a run until all of the crappy work around here was done! I am heading out around Little Cottonwood and up and around Bengal Blvd and back....weather is not looking so hot. I wish the sun was out! I hope the kids all survive while I am out and the fighting is kept to a minimum! Ended up doing 8.5...yeehooooooo

Off to see my daughter dance in the Nutcracker downtown for about the 6th time this week. 5 more performances to go......

Nice run Steam8. I convinced my wife to put everything away on the 26th this year. I helped too, man it takes a lot of work. We were awful, tree didn't get up until Monday the 19th or there abouts. Seems like we put everything on hold till Hilary came home and just went with the flow afterwards. Enjoy the performance.... they'll be gone before you know it.

8.5...wow, you're really doing good! I agree with Rye, before you know it they'll be all grown up and off doing something on the other side of the world :-)

I am enjoying them. I wish I could have more kids, but my husband thinks 4 is enough...and I guess we are getting a bit old to be having babies. :(

Good job on the 8+ miles. I bet by the end of her performances, you could practically be able to hop up there yourself and do it!
