BOSTON
At the finish
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
Ran in the snow with my 21 year old nephew. We laughed the whole 9 miles, my stomach muscles got a better workout than my legs.
Weight: 0.00

Oh and a helpful tip: Burt is the resident blog stalker. Be careful.

Dang, another fast chick around here. Well, welcome anyway. Please start running slower so that us slow runners can look better. And please remove Scott from your list of friends. He is no friend to anyone except some guy in purple shorts that he meets up with on Wire Peak every week. Kinda creepy if you ask me.

Welcome to ye ol' blog! It's a great place to keep track of all your workouts, get motivated by others, and meet new running friends!
Look for Jun and I if you're running that Dimple Dell/Bells area - we even sometimes convince Scott to come with if he's not on Wire. Jun will be wearing purple shorts... :)
Good luck on Saturday!!

I don't know own a pair of purple shorts and Matt, you're gonna pay for that.
From Scott Wesemann on Mon, Apr 11, 2011 at 16:43:43 from 66.239.250.209
Jun- I think you have confused me with Matt Van Bail. He is the one that has a thing for the purple shorts dude... aka Brian... aka Linus.
dorsimus- Haha!

Can't wait to see Jun in the purple shorts. I'll be on the lookout. I hope they are short-shorties --those are my fav!
From Steam8 on Mon, Apr 11, 2011 at 19:27:23 from 166.70.55.77
Oh..and Jun, I am no fast chick! I am 5ft 4 with stubby legs! If you see someone out running around Little Cottonwood that runs like a Chihuahua...that would be me! I bet I take 3 steps to your one! :)

From Steam8 on Mon, Apr 11, 2011 at 20:13:07 from 166.70.55.77
Thanks for the "Burt warning". I think I better stalk first and add him to my favorites list! Thank you all for the warm welcome!
