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!?

Met Burt outside my apartment complex at 5:30 am.  Light sprinkling rain and humid air for our run this morning.  I was feeling the week today and new it would be a bit challenging for me - my legs were sore and burning.  The moist air effects my breathing significantly.  Burt was such a trooper dealing with my chatter and this morning, some complaining and whining as we made our way down the canal.  We did see a water bird, a few dogs, some noisy peacocks, some stinky oxen, and several runners.  Once runner tried to touch Burt.... I threatened to kick his rear!! Two boys around the age of 12 were up early to hit the canal for some fishing.  When we finished the run, Burt and I had planned to jump in the pool... major bummer that the gates were chained up.  I never thought to check the time that they open up the pools as I've been able to get in a lot earlier.... it must be different on the weekends and they chain the gates.  Burt came up to our apartment and got to meet my cat Meow-meow.  They immediately bonded.... Meow-meow looked at Burt saying to him "Don't you dare touch me" and Burt wisely kept his distance.  We are planning to get our kids together this week here at the pool here.... they will have a blast I'm sure!!  Average pace for our run....9:12 min/mile.  We took a little breather half way through the run so that I could frolick in the sprinklers.... 

Nike Pegasus 26 Miles: 4.00

Thanks for having my back out there. I noticed Meow Meow was giving me the evil eye. Good frolicking, too.

I talked to my wife, and she said we don't have anything going on Tuesday, so let's work out the details :)
