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

Way to show those hills who's boss! That's beast! (That is in no way meant to describe your dainty calves)

Way to face your deamons! Embrace them and yes those dainty, delicate calves can conquer anything!

he he you sound like ME! I would lay the smack down on myself like that too. Great job!

So I'm thinking about running the SLC half in April. Have you run it?
