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!?

3 mile trail run...last half mile at 7:30...then 1 mile slow at 10% incline with 5 lbs. hand weights...then 3 half mile repeats at 7:20, 7:08, and 7:03 pace with half mile recovery jogs.  Finished with a cool down.   Wanted to do mile repeats but just didn't have the gusto to dig deep for the duration...decided to run halfs but faster!  Killer...

BLAH... slight sore throat and have had such a tough time sleeping this week.  A 6 miler will have to do for today.  Not doing my suggested 8 miles today won't be a huge training blunder... 8:37 pace average but I stopped 3 times - once to tie my shoe, once to blow my nose, and then ran up the huge hill near my house (about a 7% incline) at a 8:40 pace or so... tuckered at the top and stopped to catch my breath!! Having an off week.  It happens!

Tough news to swallow this morning as we heard that my husband's brother had been involved in a terrible accident.  Not sure the prognosis at this point.  Our family is just so overwhelmed and shocked. I thought a run would help, but honestly my heart just wasn't in it.  After 3 stops in the toilet and blood in my stool, I just opted to finish the mileage.  Say some prayers for our family please... we need them now more than ever.
