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

Beautiful day!  I ran 8.4 with my friend Cheryl that I will be going to Boston with.  We met at the Smith's on Bengal Blvd and ran to Pepperwood and back along Wasatch Blvd.  It was a fun run.  It kicked our butts! ha!

Ran 1 mile with my 13 yr old.  I am trying to get him to exercise instead of play on the computer.  He doesn't have many friends so the computer has taken their place.  It is kind of heartbreaking.  There is only so much of a friend a mom and dad can be. He is training for the Bryce Canyon Half in July.  We are starting slow.  I hope he can lose a little weight and start to enjoy exercise along the journey.

Sounds like a very nice beautiful run with friend and a great Boston prep run to boot! :)

I hear ya on motivating kids to run. You are setting a great example for your little guy. Keep it fun and he will soon see the benefits of running.

I cant get my girls to run either... the 11 year sometimes comes out, but not often.

Nice run!

Nice run Steam... keep up your example to your son....those can be tough years. The computer can be such a great tool, and then it can be a big addiction to young and old! Good luck with parenting! I'm sure he will be fine with good parents like you and your hubby!

what an awesome mom you are. He will come to love running like you do and hopefully find friends in the amazing running community.

Great job on the run! I love that you run with your son too. Running can be such a confidence boost by accomplishing baby step goals while also getting all the positive natural endorphins. Hopefully you will have a running parter for life!
