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!?

Interval/fartlek.... 8:49 average pace.... intervals in low to mid 7's.  Starting to feel like I am getting a little speed back but still not up to par.

Slept terrible last night.  Got up with a headache and just felt crappy.  Left calf muscle tight with sharp burning pains from yesterday's run.  Rain outside ... cold and damp.  Decided to rest today.

First 5 miles - tempo run.... 8:16 average pace with only 2 stops at traffic lights... thought I was gonna die!!  Second 5 miles 9:02 average pace... with 20 mile winds in my face on the way back!!!  Totally crapped out towards the end and honestly... with the stops I made, it would have been more like a 9:40 average pace if I hadn't hit stop on my watch.  Legs just felt off... breathing was good, but I am still feeling fatigue!!!  Another bad night's sleep last night as I had an interview scheduled for this morning.  The interview went well but it was really only a pre-screening.  I need to find a job... this is the pits!!  I want money so that I can afford my darn running shoes and marathoning addiction!!  LOL!!!  This run was not pleasant.  Felt like I was running the last 10k of the marathon again....

9:04 average pace... steep hills x 2.  On my way back at 3.80 miles, I fell!  I trpped when my toe caught an elevated crack in the concrete sidewalk asnd landed on my right hip, elbow and knee with the worst injury being the elbow.  I needed to finish the mileage so after a few minutes of collecting myself, I continued on to the end.  I figured that a fall like this could happen during a marathon... that's why I continued with bleeding elbow and all.  Ouch... I've got road rash and it stings.  What a run!!!
