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

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!

Hill repeats in the avenues up by the Capitol while I waited for my daughter at dance.  The hills just about killed me!

8 in 1:07 and I was so sick! I honestly didn't think I would make it back to the bathroom without having an accident! I think I have had a flu this week.

I went to the doctor today because I haven't been feeling well.  I have auto-immune problems and thought I better go back in just to get checked out since I have had low energy lately.  Test results came back today and everything is great!  My thyroid is perfect and no auto-antibodies.  I got down to 103 pounds a year and a half ago without trying now I am back up to 109 with a normal thyroid function.  Last year I didn't have a reflex in my left leg.  I have had left side weakness problems on and off since I had my second child.  They think I have MS.  

My doc told me that I am under weight and need to put on at least 7 pounds and I would feel better.  I eat really well and don't feel like eating most of the time....I just feel kind of sick and everything runs through me.  I think it must just be from running and exercising a lot lately.  I was suppose to run 10 yesterday and I just couldn't make myself get out in the cold and snow.  We have shown our house 4X this week and I am about on burnout from cleaning non-stop!  

I think I need some time off to get back to wanting to run and enjoy it again.  I hate the last few weeks that build up to the marathon.  My body is exhausted and I have no energy! I think I am just old! :(  I did get an email from the Boston Athletic Assoc. and they said they will be mailing me my packet this month.  I am excited about that and hope my body can keep up with the training so that I won't run a 5 hour marathon!

Downed Pepto Bismol this morning and was suppose to run 14 today and I just couldn't do it.  Zero energy.  I was running 9:30 min miles.  Bad day.   I hope my body gets better soon.

Skiing with my family tomorrow.  I will spend the day on the bunny hills in hopes that I don't hurt a leg!
