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

What can I say.....my left ITband is hurting!  What is wrong with me????  I am just not made for running marathons!!!!  I am so upset about it.  After my run on Saturday my left, outer tendon has been stabbing me all the way up to my hip.  I have been using a heating pad and it is finally feeling better.  I got on the treadmill on Monday and it help stabbing, so I only ran 3 and got on the rowing machine and bike.

 I am going to try running today after a step class at our church and a friend offered to have me come over for pilates today too.  Looks like I am going to have a full exercise day.  Good thing my house is clean so that my husband won't be irritated with me! ha!  I better get something good out for dinner so he won't be feeling neglected since he is working all day! 

 My fav candy of the year is now out!  The hot cinnamon lips!  YUM!  I love holiday candy!

Aerobics at the church this morning, ran 8.6 at my moms, then pilates at a friend's house after.  I thought I was going to die when we rolled out the ITBand...yowza!  My left knee was killing!  

I am feeling pretty good after a full day of working out and sitting downtown watching my daughter dance at Ballet West for 2 hours 15 minutes...but who is counting!  It is parent watch week.  

I have to volunteer at the elementary school tomorrow for 4 hours.  I better get to bed since I have to be there early.

Thanks for all of the tips. I am going to be stretching and rolling every day.  I usually just don't take the time to do it!
