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

I REALLY didn't feel like getting out for a run today.  I cleaned my house, did laundry....finally got out at about noon.  After the first couple of miles, I started to love the run.  It was a beautiful afternoon of blue skies and white mountains.  I kept checking my Garmin and I was always a little above 8 or a little below.  I am getting in better shape! :)

18 with my nephew Michael in 2:38.  It was a beautiful day....my body is tired!  I hope you all have a great weekend!  

I had to take my husband to the airport yesterday for a medical conference in Vegas.  I usually go with him, but this weekend is full of kid stuff and I felt guilty asking my parents to take over this huge task.  On the way home from the airport, Jake barfed all over in the car and I got stuck in miles of cars lined up trying to get up Little Cottonwood that had been closed for avalanche shootings.  My car smelled like puke, Jake was crying, I was about to pee my pants from too much Diet Pepsi for breakfast.  I decided that I made the right decision to stay home and not make my parents stay at our house! ha!
