BOSTON
At the finish
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
Still sick. I feel like my head weighs 500lbs. Can't hear, can't breath, head feels like it is on the verge of explosion.
Planning on running 16 on Friday and my nephew decided to go to Vegas for the weekend with his friends! Where are his priorities? ha! Sad that I will be running solo with my ipod. :(
Weight: 0.00

If I could run 16 miles I'd totally be there!! Sorry you're still feeling sick, hope you get better soon!

I would love to run with you, but as sad as it is, at 20 weeks you are still faster than me! Now that is depressing!!!

Haha Rye! I did just eat an orange but the Diet Pep sure did put a smile on my face today! I'll slam one down for you tomorrow, if I did it right now I wouldn't sleep tonight!

trying to think through how an iPod works with a 500-pound head. Good miles though.

When you're sick, like this, I think you should be able to log your miles a double :-) Good sick run! Hope you're feeling better now.

Nice job getting out there for that distance even though you're sick! That's awesome!

So sorry you are sick. It's no bueno.
We should meet up on some Saturdays and run long together. I will slow down no worries. :)
