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! 

Personal:

 

Married, 40 year old, mother of four. 

 

"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

Ten in 1:22 (8.2 mm average).  I felt like crap today.  I have been recovering from laryngitis.  I haven't been able to breath for a few days.  I had a sinus headache, so I downed some Ibuprofen and made myself get out since the marathon is 5 weeks from today.  I have had one thing after another lately and I really need to have my miles up.  I don't know how I am going to do at the marathon. :(

Ran with a neighbor, her daughter and my son (James).  We started training for the Bryce Canyon Half in July.  I hope they make it.

I decided to not go to Moab at the last minute.  The reason why I was going is that I was going to be able to bring my kids and all of our kids could play at a big ranch house up in some canyon while we ran the half.  

Ballet West decided to add two practices on Saturday for The Little Mermaid ballet that is coming up.  So, all of our girls had to stay behind and Rick was going to have all the girls sleepover and drive them to dance all day.  James, my oldest decided that he didn't want to go either.  I then felt like I was being too selfish by going with my friend and leaving Rick with a house full of kids!  

We had a fun weekend with a house full of kids since James had two friends sleepover too. I love St. Patrick's Day.  I'm glad that I didn't miss out on the Leprechaun that runs around our house all day and turns our milk green and leaves gold coins.    

I ran 16 out in the wind and some rain.  It was not fun!!!  I was feeling bummed that my friend was running the half with beautiful scenery to look at while I was running on the streets around here dodging cars.
