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

Ran along the Provo River with my nephew Michael (21).  First 10 miles were so slow and miserable.  Honestly about barfed passing one of the stinkiest roadkill! After 10, I started to feel a bit better.  We were planning on 18, but we took too long and my two sisters picked us up as we were running around Kamas and we decided to call it a run so that we could get our Diet Peps at 7-11.  It was HOT and I think the altitude about did us in!

Hey 7-11's are great. Don't have any close to me now though. Slurpee city. I like your new profile pic (I like your blue running shoes... that one is you right?). I keep my winter one up in hopes of snow...
