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

Still rolling and stretching. The IT is feeling better. I have a lump on the back side of my knee. Has anyone else had anything like this. It hurts when I press on it. My hub thinks it might be a cyst. He told me to quit stressing my body out! He doesn't like my love of running/hiking/exercising. He told me to just run 3 miles every other day on the treadmill like he does or ride the exercise bike and call it good. ha! I wish I was more normal.

You are the normal one. People who don't like to run can't understand those who do. Great job on the run today!

Normal? Have you seen this woman's calves?! hahahaha! Seriously, that is an awesome recovery milestone! Keep an eye on that lump, if it gets any bigger the doc can probably drain it. I have a friend that had a cyst like that a couple months ago and he was back to regular activity in just a day or two. Your hubby can probably bring home a syringe and do it in the kitchen for you :)

Give your hubby a big hug and go out for a 15 miler. I would watch it carefully though! Nice run..

Hey...you are normal, we were made to run! Not running enough will make you old and crabby :-)

Nice fast run by-the-way!

Wow! Great workout!! My husband doesn't get my "die hard" running either, it's ok because it keeps me sane :)
