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!

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

7.00

Terrible, rotten, awful, MISERABLE speed work on the treadmill. I had to set my alarm for 5:30 and get my lazy butt on the treadmill by 6 if I was going to be able to get my run in today. It takes the LOVE and FUN completely OUT of running when you have to run on the treadmill and add in speed work just makes it unbearable!

I have to hurry and clean up my house to be shown today AGAIN while I am volunteering at the elementary school today. Teaching 6th and 2nd graders about Auguste Renoir and an art project of his work with my 4 yr old helping me. Should be a fun day. SOOOOOOOO glad my run is over! I hope you all have an enjoyable run today!

the only thing worse than a fast run on the treadmill is a slow run on the treadmill. (at least for me, the time seems to fly by better when you're going fast)

nice workout

Going fast on a treadmill is frightening. I keep thinking I am going to misstep and go flying. Good job, though.
