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 wish I could throw on my shoes and run my strength out this morning.  I know this is a running blog and I can't run....but, I wish more than anything I could run today.  

Running just makes me feel better all around.  I need it, I'm addicted to it....I love it.  I got up early even after I was out late last night and got on my bike this morning and watched the news while I rode for an hour since I am going to be at the elementary school volunteering for most of the day.  Got the kids off to school all but my 4 yr old and 13 yr old that has late start this morning.  I got on to check his grades and just  don't understand how he can not turn things in or study for his tests.  He has been tested for a lot of things because he was sent to earth with quite a few problems that have been difficult for him.  His IQ is 98th percentile (so he is brilliant) and yet has ADHD.  All he cares about is food and video games.  I told him to turn off his video games and that he knows the rules.....if things aren't turned in and he gets below a B-, he is grounded.  It was WW3 this morning.  

You get married and have children and think they will be like you and then I think God does a funny trick on you to teach you patience, love and understanding and sends you a child that is nothing like you.  It is not that he is a teenager that has made him difficult.  He has been difficult from birth.  I just need a good run today to make me feel better.  The bike just isn't cutting it! :(   To top off my fab day, I get to head to southern Utah again to ride atvs and shoot guns...two of my least favorite activities and my husband's favorite activities.  I really need a good run today and one to look forward to to help me through the weekend! ha!

Come on all...I can't feel good from a run.  I am needing  a PUMP UP! I can be a good wife and mom this weekend...I can, I can! :)
