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!?

Not a great night sleeping.  My youngest son slept with me last night and was all over the bed!!  Living in a hotel is not easy... Sept 10th is moving day... and I cannot wait.  Cloudy and a bit chilly this morning.  I really just wanted to go back to bed after dropping the boys at school.  Decided to go run on the treadmill since my legs were still sore and my plantar fasciitis was bugging me.  Took it nice and easy.  Watched a few TV shows during my workout which at least made it tolerable.  It was a nice change from my typical routine.  Aiming for 60 miles this week... I am gonna hit it!!
