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!?

Finally a good night's sleep!  Even though it wasn't for a full 8 hours, at least it was a quality sleep.  Frankly I was a bit worried about running today after the way I felt yesterday.  My knee caps hurt big time on my short 3 miler yesterday... you know something's up when you see me running in dirt.  I am not a big fan of getting my shoes or legs dirty!!  LOL!!!  Hit the malecon right after I dropped off the boys to school.  Met up with my new friend and running partner Alan - we just did two 4 mile tempo runs. First 4 miler was in 33:52- we then stopped to take in fluids.  The second 4 miler was in 31:54.... wow!!  The knee caps felt totally fine.  Right foot a little tender with the PF for the first mile or so, then after that, the tenderness was gone.  What a great workout and I was shocked that I mustered it!  Alan really pushed me and got me there!! There's always that looming question... could I have done more? Umm.... I don't think so.... It was tough!!  My lungs were totally working for it!!  I even had a layer of salt form in the elbow bends of my arms which I have never seen before!!  Very proud of this run.
