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
17.00

Humidity is 75% today.  I might as well have taken a shower in my running clothes and gone out for a run because that is what I looked like out running.  My nephew said he has never seen me soaked before.  This is not a normal July in Utah!

Barely made 17 miserable, long, nasty, unbearable miles today.  My legs were throbbing! My nephew Michael and I were laughing until we were crying we were so miserable out today!  We are both in pathetic shape right now.  I can't wait until our miles get up and we can not be in so much pain while out running!

Nice miles! I agree, the heat probably made that feel like 25.

Yeah I agree, you can't have a bad 17-miler. Nice run, gotta love being drenched at the end!

Sounds like a ton o' fun! Nice miles and way to sweat! :) Hope you were able to work in a choc donut at some point.

Haven't seen you on the Blog for a while...Hope you're not so sore, after your 17 miler, that you can't drag yourself to the computer :-)
