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

5.00

Mowed and edged my yard this morning and everything was feeling fine.....so, I couldn't resist and decided to get out for a run since my 13 yr old stayed home sick from school -- which means, I had a babysitter. I ran my usual around Little Cottonwood. It was so beautiful and the mountain goats were out on the mountains jumping around. Mile 3 my knee started hurting so I didn't go up the Bells Canyon trail to the lake and back. I thought I better not do more than 5 today. Knee feels strange. I have never had knee problems before. I am hoping it is just still a bit inflamed and will get back to normal soon.
