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

I'm still here!!  I just haven't had any Amy time at all!!!! :(

I've had family in town + problems with my 13 yr old (he is breaking my heart ) + 11 yr old dances at Ballet West (the professional ballet downtown) and they have chosen her for the next two ballets and Don Quixote starts tonight, so I have been downtown non-stop for 2 weeks + church responsibilities + my 11 yr old just won the Science Fair in her school and we have a District competition coming up this week, so we have more work to do on the project + we have shown our house this week and the couple really likes it and is thinking of making an offer + my 2 other kids needing attention during all of this! 

I have 2 hours before I have to leave this afternoon and I really should be folding laundry or in the shower and not reading blogs!

 I was only planning on running 10 yesterday with my friend and running 18 on Friday with my nephew, but we were having so much fun we just kept running and running until we were out of time and had to pick kids up.  How many miles do you think I would be able to run on Friday without injuring myself??  I really want to run 18 with him, but knowing my history of stress fractures......I don't know how many I could run over 10 and still be okay.  What do you think???   

We ran 18 in 2:42, with a few walking breaks.....So, not too bad for a long run!!  :)

Trying to figure out how to update my miles on a phone!! Ran with my nephew. We had such a fun run. 13.1 in 1:47. We made pretty good time and laughed through most of it. At the ballet and can hardly wait to see my sweetie. My hub and I have been actually able to have a hot date tonight.... It a miracle!!! We walked around the temple waiting for Bambara to open. Swordfish and bison for dinner. Great, great day!!
