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

10.50

Yeeeeeeehooooooooooo! 10.5 Black Friday run on the Jordan River Parkway with a group of FRBers put on by the Dekker girls. It was so fun to meet RAD, Quiet Pirate, Kelli, Allie, Chad, Catherine, Faceless Ghost and Smooth for the second time. There were a couple of others, but I forgot their names.....my Alzheimer's is setting in already! Loved, loved it! Thanks for the fun run RAD!!

I chatted with Allie most of the run. I was huffing and puffing and she wasn't winded and didn't even break a sweat! ha!

Weight: 0.00

I wanted to catch you guys so bad, but I just could not run fast enough. ;o)

Glad you hung out at the end so I could at least say HI. We really need to plan a run one of these days. I would love to head out your way (or maybe meet in the middle in Draper or something) on a day I do not work.

Enjoy your afternoon and DATE NIGHT tonight. You have earned a BIG dinner, especially since you had such self control with the donuts.

It was SO SO SO FUN to run the second half with you! Seriously, I thought you were 28, no lie! You are so cute!!!

WHAT huffing? You were running AWESOME!!! THANKS for keeping me company! :) We need to do more group runs like this again!

It was good to meet you this morning!

From Chad on Sat, Nov 26, 2011 at 11:18:41 from 71.199.13.143

It was fun to meet you. You and allie are way too fast for me, plus I quit early. If you didn't make it to the Ute game, maybe that's a good thing.

From SlowJoe on Sat, Nov 26, 2011 at 12:19:57 from 98.201.152.210

Wow, sounds like fun. I would move to Utah and run with y'all, but Burt said they wouldn't let me in. Nice job knocking out 10+ miles.

From Carina on Sat, Nov 26, 2011 at 13:16:43 from 204.15.86.83

Sounds like such a great time!! Maybe next time I will be able to make it!

From RAD on Sat, Nov 26, 2011 at 17:04:22 from 98.202.23.178

I was SO happy you were able to come! I can't believe you had such awesome self-control with the donuts, you really do deserve a good dinner!! Glad you had a good time, totally made my day to meet you. I want to come to your neck of the woods and run up the canyon with you!

From Lily on Sat, Nov 26, 2011 at 23:19:28 from 67.199.178.210

How fun. I should have come! Allie is amazing isn't she? Love that girl.

Nice 10.5. Sounds like a great time. Some sweet miles.

So good to see you putting in the miles again. Looks like you are back, hope your foot is still feeling fine.

I had a great time chasing y'all on the parkway! I love your family photos on your blog! What a good-looking group you have :-)

Hope I get to see you again next time I make it out to Zion. Until then, run happy and good luck with your foot.
