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

Felt great yesterday.  14 in 2:05.  We didn't really push ourselves hard and had a great run.  Sooooooo much better than last week.  I think eating more has really helped me! I feel great this morning.  I am going to try to get another 5 in if I get the chance.  

 I have my niece staying with us.  She has an almost 2 yr old and a 2 month old.  They found our her 2 month old is blind and is here for surgery.  His lenses didn't develop correctly.  She has to stay here for another 2 weeks while he gets more surgeries and some lenses put in.  Her husband had to go back to Nevada to work.  We have all been hoping and praying that all goes well for him.  I forgot how much work two babies are!  It has been fun around here.  My kids love the little ones. Looks like a beautiful day out!  I hope you all have a great weekend!
