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 my Little Cottonwood loop.  What a morning!  Loved every second of it.  My legs were so sore after my kickboxing class yesterday and I almost took the day off.  So glad I didn't  I forgot my 13 yr old has late start today so I threw on my shoes and headed out.  Beautiful morning.  My legs felt great and I can tell that I am getting in better shape.  

 Yesterday felt like a marathon and today is going to be the same.  Heading to volunteer from 9-1 at the elementary school.  Early day for the little ones and then I am getting them off to friends for one sleepover and some until Rick gets off work.  I have to drive across the valley in rush hour traffic to meet my sisters for the Twilight movie.  My sis has a friend that rents out a movie theatre every year and she buys all of us tickets for a sisters night out.  I can't wait to eat popcorn, laugh and have a fun night with my sisters!  

 IJR, I read your daughters blog two nights ago and just haven't had time to respond to it.  She is an amazing girl.  You must be so proud of her.  Everyone should read her blog and donate to her missionary effort if they have some extra to give.

Steam,

I didn't mean to promote my daughter's "cause", I just though of it the other day while reading your blog and thought it had some relevance...maybe not? Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it. She is able to write, in creative words, things most people can't verbalize.

Glad things are working back into shape running-wise. Hope you had a great time with your sisters.
