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

Head cold....head ache, runny nose, hurts to move my eyes! NO BUENO!!! (My 13 yr old is taking Spanish)

I forgot that I had a lunch date with some friends from Jr. High at Cafe Rio today, so I jumped in the shower and got ready. They went to Skyline and I went to Hillcrest, so I haven't seen one of them since Jr. High and didn't feel like I could cancel.

After getting ready, I decided to just quit feeling sorry for myself and do my planned hill run......REALLY dumb to do after already showering and putting on makeup. 7X up the nasty hill that comes into my neighborhood. I now have spaghetti legs (or as OREO would say, "JELLOSAUCE." I still feel like crap, but feel much better knowing my workout schedule can be crossed off! I better get to my weights, squats and core workout before I run out of time. bleh!

Can't wait to see my old friends in my stinky running clothes! ha! Good think Cafe Rio is stinky so they won't be able to smell me though the mexican fiesta smell!

That sounds exactly like what I've had, and it is MISERABLE!!! Hopefully yours won't linger like mine has, but I think mine is lasting forever because of pregnancy. Hey, I went to Hillcrest too! Class of '99 :)

Nice work getting out - even after getting ready! THAT is hard-core. I would've just bagged it at that point, or done it later. I tell ya, I'm impressed!! Hope you had a good time with old friends.
