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

Yeeehoooo!  That is the farthest I have been able to run since August!  

After telling my family on Sunday about my painful and embarrassing Saturday run....I decided to dig the Atkins back out of the garbage and keep it for my family Christmas White Elephant party! heehee!  I thought I could wrap them up with some Depends! ha!

Hey steam8, still chuckling from your adventurous run Saturday. If you got a minute and your board, google, "oops I crap_ed my pants" it's a Saturday Noght Live skit. Enjoy! Nice run by the way.

That was good! LOL! I love SNL! I wish I could buy a bag of those to put with my Atkins for the WE present. I would have given anything to have one of those on for my Saturday run! ha! Thanks for the laugh Rye!

Glad I'm not participating in your white elephant party :-)

And congradulations on the great run! I'm assuming you're not having any foot problems :-)
