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

Seriously...I put on 4 pounds in Vegas! I now have some motivation to get back at running! ha!  Ran 5 around the neighborhood that I grew up in.  My mom babysat for me. 5 in 41 and felt pretty good except my knee started throbbing at mile 3! I will be buying an elliptical this week, so any input would be great.  So far the advice I have is Costco and it has to have the bigger stride.  So, off to Costco I will go tomorrow!
