 Master's Woman's Bikini contest... yes... I may just do this in the coming year if I can manage to give up beer long enough to cut!

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!?

First mile and 3/4 outside then suddenly down-pour!!  Had to take off my shoes, tuck them under my shirt, and run a quarter mile back to the condo in the rain barefoot.... no fun.  Decided I'd go hit up the treadmill for my run.... Did 30 mins. at 7.45 MPH, 5 mins. at 7.82 MPH and the rest of the time ranged between 10.4-11km/hr, not including my warmup for 5 minutes.  Completed the workout with my weight and abs routine.  Felt really good running in my new shoes - got some nice NIKE air Vapor Quick 2's - selection in Mexico is quite limited, but after my run today, these made me feel like I had new legs!!!

You two are cracking me up!!! I actually am semi-retired. I don't speak spanish.... mi espanol mui poco- although I really wish I was fluent. I do a little real estate here and take care of my boys. My husband commutes here from AZ.

There are two big marathon's here that I know about.... the Pacifico which I did the 1/2 in December and the LaLa which is sometime in March but it isn't in Mazatlan. It's a city or two away from here.

Spanish speakers that I know of on the blog are myself, Benny, Lyman, Argentine Rocket, Eric Day, and surprisingly enough Sasha's Spanish is not too bad.
