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

Mowed and edged my yard this morning and everything was feeling fine.....so, I couldn't resist and decided to get out for a run since my 13 yr old stayed home sick from school -- which means, I had a babysitter.  I ran my usual around Little Cottonwood.  It was so beautiful and the mountain goats were out on the mountains jumping around.  Mile 3 my knee started hurting so I didn't go up the Bells Canyon trail to the lake and back.  I thought I better not do more than 5 today.  Knee feels strange.  I have never had knee problems before.  I am hoping it is just still a bit inflamed and will get back to normal soon.

Ran 5 around Little Cottonwood and then hiked up to Bells Canyon Reservoir and back at a pathetically slow pace! I was going to run 8 and then up to the Reservoir but only ran 5 because my knee was hurting and I wasn't feeling it today.  Crap run day...no energy! Wondered why I even run today! Hopefully I will start feeling better soon. ZERO DRIVE...What is wrong with me?  I didn't even enjoy going up to the lake today and that is usually the best part of my day!

Heading to Vegas to meet up with my hub for the weekend.  It is probably my least favorite place on earth! He is at a conference and  has the restaurants all planned and ready to go since we don't drink, gamble, or do anything Vegas-like! I am going to lay at the pool and eat myself sick in hopes that binging all weekend will give me some motivation to get back at running.  Everything is hurting on me lately.  Is it just because I am getting old? I think I am going to give myself a week or two break to heal up, but I am so afraid of getting out of shape and starting back with breathing hard at mile one again! :(

When I get back, I am going to get an elliptical so that I can complain about it like everyone else on here! ha!!
