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! 

Personal:

 

Married, 40 year old, mother of four. 

 

"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
8.25

Ran 8 in 1:06 on dead legs. 8:25mm.  I was going to run on the treadmill because it is snowing today, but my mom called and wanted me to come over for a visit so that she could see her youngest grandchild....Jake.  He had so much fun that when I had to take him to pre-school he asked if he could come back to grandmas because he just loves it there.  So cute!  It made my mom and dad feel good.  

 Now to de-Valentine and St. Patrickize!  :)

My wife St. Patrickized too much one year and made green dinner rolls. Nobody at them.

Nice miles after days of speed and hills.

Ahh dead legs... They will come alive again. At my age I am hoping for grandkids!!! My wife just turned 49... do you think that she could still bear some children?
