Short-Term Running Goals:

Recovering from micro-fracture surgery on my right knee.  I tore the cartilage off of my knee while doing a speed-training run one month before Boston.  Doc gave me a cortisone shot so that I was able to finish Boston.  After the surgery, I was told to never run again. :(

Long-Term Running Goals:

QUALIFIED FOR BOSTON! April 16, 2011 

Ran Boston on April 14, 2012!

"In truth, runners don't race other runners.  They race against themselves: to conquer their wills, to transcend their weaknesses, to beat back their nightmares.  And while a runner can't actually beat himself, he can beat his time. Even years into running, he can get better." Running for His Life by Michael Hall

after you commented on my blog, I came to see yours and found out that we are the same age, 4 kids and both live in Sandy! Awesome! Except you qualified for Boston and I'm nowhere near that :) I hope you feel better, sorry about your fall! Ugh.

Yay! Someone that lives close and loves to run. Let's run together...if we can find a good time between our 8 kids! ha!

Sorry about your injury! Especially when they aren't running related they STINK big time! Thanks for cheering us on mentally - I needed it today :)

Sorry you are out of commission for a bit :/

You can have some 'me' time (of course that means food for me, but that's another topic all together)

Hey Steam,

Steam... I just realized I love the name.. So many applications, Need to run and let off a little Steam. The Steam Engine that could and DID. Anywho - no worries about the down time. Life is good and you got this.
