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

I couldn't resist getting out today for a run.  Blue skies and sunshine! I told my hub that I was just going to run until it started to hurt and then I would walk.  He said, "ya right. You will run the whole thing".  Well, I did stop at 2.5 to chat with a neighbor and it was hurting so I walked for a bit and ran the rest of the way home.  Sore, but not too bad!

 It was so cool to see all of the Hillcrest High Football team out riding their bikes along Wasatch Blvd for their 50 miler while I ran.  I was cheering them all on.  My nephew is one of them.   At the corner of Wasatch and South Little Cottonwood were 4 Hillcrest cheerleaders cheering them on.  It was a fun morning!

The mountains are so incredibly beautiful right now! I wish I could have done 10 and then ran up my Bells trail...instead I came home and mowed and edged the lawn.  It probably would have been better on my knee and hip to run up the trail and back. 

 I get to go do another charity event this afternoon.  I am kind of donated out right now!  Don't know how I will do the charity thing since I have a puking kid today and my hub just left town...yipppeeeeee!!  If I get some time I will ride my bike for an hour.
