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

It is toooooo cold to run outside this morning!

20 minutes on the bike

1 mile warm up

5 in 40:47

walked .6 until my hr on the dreadmill was up.

I thought I was going to puke after my 5 miler...I did sprints at 6.6 to 6 min miles and jogged at 8.5 to 9 min miles in between to cool down.  I won't lie...sad, but true, the 8 min mile ave. kicked my trash!  I don't like running on the treadmill, but it does make me pay more attention to my speed.  I'm getting in a little bit better shape.  It is going to take me until Boston to get there.  I hope my 4 pounds comes off along the way! :)

 I watched the new Fame while I ran. I bought it for my daughter to watch because she loves dance.  I thought I would watch it first just to make sure it was okay for her to see....BORING!  I think that made my treadmill hour longer than normal! ha!

My kickboxing class about killed me yesterday!  I still am in pain after the endless squats, lunges, pushups, situps, kicks, and punches!  I have been doing this class twice a week for over a month now and it is still kicking my butt!

I rode the bike for 20 to try to loosen my incredibly sore legs.   I got on the treadmill and ran a mile warm up and 5 in 41 again, then walked until I had to drive my little guy to preschool.  My legs are so sore and are killing me!  I am thinking that cross training is not such a great idea!

 Good thing is that I bought The Help yesterday and waited for my dreadmill workout to watch it.  I am finishing the rest of it on my bed with my sore legs elevated!  What will help get rid of SORE legs???

Ran 13.1 in 1:59 with my nephew and his friend.  Running with two, 21 yr old boys was fuuun! We laughed the whole time.  We decided to make it 14 and ran the last mile as a cool down.
