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

I spent too much time cleaning my house.  We have interested people that are coming through again next week.  I only had time to squeeze in three fast ones before taking a bunch of people to the dollar movies with me.  We saw Kung Fu Panda 2 for the second time.  Some of the people we were going with hadn't seen it.  I just love Poe's dad the goose.  He makes the show for me! ha!

I am probably going to hike somewhere with my sis today.  She flew in from Seattle yesterday and I am on my way to pick her up in a few.  It looks like another hot day around here so I better squeeze the pool in too.  I really think I am going to start to wear sunscreen since a little girl at church the other day poked at my arm and said, "Ewww, what is wrong with your arm? You have polka-dots".  The only reason I am tan is because I have so many darn freckles.  Born into a family of eight with 4 red-heads, 3 brunettes and 1 blond. My dad looks albino and cannot tan and my mom can get tan but freckles....if I keep tanning myself like I do I am going to look like I am going on 70 instead of 40 next year! :(

I'm glad the girld at church asked that question so I didn't have to.

Did you have the noodle dream? I like summer time freckles. You're pretty fast for 70.

Freckles are cute!
