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 was planning on running outside, but my 4 year old thought I was going to run in the basement and was so excited to get down there and play while I run....I ended up running on the tread for him.

What a mom! Way to go doing the yuck workout for the little one! Nice work!

Hey, I don't know if you are interested, but a bunch of us from FRB get together for a little group run/race every year called the Red Hot Pink Chicks (RHPC) and it is this Saturday. I will PM you the info if you are interested in coming!! It would be great to meet you.

Good miles on the Dreadmill. I'm starting to think the treadmill would be a nice break from the heat outside. It's supposed to be 78 and 85% humid at 5:30 in the morning :-(

Six miles on the hamster wheel. You're a good Mom.

You are such a nice mom! Did you watch Teletubbies, too???

You have kind of a fun week with the running and hiking, glad you have missed the lightening and downpour that keeps dropping in!

You're Nice... My tM 'o doom broke just over a year ago.. It was like trying to break a bad habit at first, but now that I'm clean...

Oreo, THAT made me laugh.
