Help to inspire others to get fit and be consistent in their training.....Continue to love running and stay injury free while I rack up the miles....

Personal:

I have been married for almost 20 years.... Dave is the only man that I think that was placed specifically on this earth to tolerate my crazy ways.

I have 2 boys - ages 9 yrs. and 18 yrs. old (senior in high schoold and known on this blog as "Ironman"- they are fabulous kids - I am very blessed!!!

I am an RN and have been for around 12 years.

I lift weights regularly and work abs 2-3 days a week.  I enjoy the beach, like to sing, and love to run!!!

Quit smoking about 4 years ago and couldn't run 1/4 way around a track when I began... started with elliptical and then got into running more seriously.  Cranked up the mileage and intensity when I began training for my first 1/2 marathon.  The rest is history.... or history in the making!?

Poor sleep last night....4.5 miles done this morning... very warm and humid!! Started at Las Gavias on the malecon and decided to run home from there after dropping our truck off at the body shop.  Oh .... by the way, forgot to mention that while we were in San Luis Potosi, my husband hit a flat bed tow truck which totally dented in our front driver's side front quarter panel... talk about stressful!!  Well, at least it's only gonna cost about $270 US dollars to repair here in Mexico vs. $3,000 that it would have been in the states!!!  Just crossing my fingers that we get the truck back in a timely fashion.... we leave on Wednesday for AZ and will say goodbye to Mazatlan.  I am really gonna miss it here.  I feel like I have finally come into my own here and found myself.  I have been so lucky to have met some great people here and I feel they will be lifelong friends.

Running still doesn't feel that great.... my legs are tired, heavy and fatigued.  Still waiting for my gusto... I can't seem to muster anything more than a 8:50 pace.... UGH. 

Here's a picture of me with my friends at the going away breakfast they had for me....
