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

I don't even think anyone even looks at my blog anymore.....but I just had to share.  I ran 2 miles on the treadmill today!  I have been running about a mile or two a week on my treadmill just to see how my knee does.  It usually hurts really bad the rest of the day and the whole next day. Today I did 6.5 on the elliptical and thought I would just try my knee out again. The first .5 hurt and then the last 1.5 felt sooooo good!  I ran it in 16:13 and thought I was going to puke!  I LOVE TO RUN!  I can't tell you how it felt today.  I'm in LOVE! ha!

Knee injuries are rough. I had a glimpse of one that i nipped in the bud quickly by not running but that pain is not runnable. You are doing the rigbt thong to take it easy. I read about marianne s. And she vant run anymore because of overuse to her knees.
