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!?

Beautiful  morning for a run in Noble Canyon with my friends Jeff, Carlos, and Vanessa.  Overcast and cool with a breeze at the start... 7:15 am.  Headed up 10 miles with a gain of 4000 feet and then turned around and ran back down.  It is more like a speed walk/hike on the way up because of all the rock and the steep areas.  Coming down could be an easy way to turn an ankle and I had tweaked my left ankle twice so the last 2 miles I really took it easy.  It was very HOT by then (pushing 90) at the bottom of the canyon.  Later, my runners knee kicked in and I hobbled around at work.  Thankfully they let me go home early from work due to low census.  One interesting site today was the Bob cat I saw when I came around the corner at the top of cresting a hill.  He must have heard me coming because he was running away from me up the trail and then jumped off into the brush.  I then pulled out my mace for the rest of the run... kinda freaked me out!!  LOL!!!

17 miles in the hills with the Dirt Devil running group.  Faired ok the first 13 but the last 4 it was hot and my legs are just shot from trail running, the rocks and the hills and down hills.  I just don't know what's up with me... gee!?!  Could it be the 3 marathons I have run in the past 3 months!!!?  Dumb dumb.
