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

10.50

Ten in 1:22 (8.2 mm average). I felt like crap today. I have been recovering from laryngitis. I haven't been able to breath for a few days. I had a sinus headache, so I downed some Ibuprofen and made myself get out since the marathon is 5 weeks from today. I have had one thing after another lately and I really need to have my miles up. I don't know how I am going to do at the marathon. :(

I'm so sorry. I really hope you get feeling 100%. I've been coughing up lung butter for over 2 weeks. I feel you. Let me know if you ever want to do a longish run on a Saturday. I'll run with you Amy! :)

I forgot to say this one thing, because I get laryngitis twice a year every year: Laryngitis blows!

I still plan on pacing with ya so don't let it bother you. If you have Laryngitis I will talk your ear off (well when I am not eating a cookie). I saw some geese today... scary I know!
