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!?

Average pace 9:06 min/mile.  Lots of hills here in Carlsbad.  I may not walk well tomorrow.  My foot with the plantar fasciitis is very unhappy.  I ran from Carlsbad North to Oceanside then back.  Continued along Carlsbad Blvd. south for a bit, turned around and headed back to the hotel.  I am amazed at how well I did today actually with all things considered, especially having all those darn hills... I was pleased with the pace.  I did take about 3-4 stops (mostly short ones).  I needed the rest room at mile 7.5 and bought fluids, then stopped again around mile 12 for more fluids, then again at the top of Carlsbad's version of heartbreak hill (at least that's what I'll call it) at mile 16.  The last 4 miles were all hills... up and down and up and down!! EEK!  I am afraid to stay off my right foot for any extended period of time because I know how it's gonna feel once I get back up and stand on it!!!

If you can get this PF under control you're going to BQ no problem. Great pace for 20 miles!

Gee Burt! Wish I had that confidence... not sure if it will happen. As they say... anyone can run 20 miles... it's the last 6 that count!

Think positive. You CAN do it!
