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

Chewed down some Ibuprofen and ran 4 miles with my husband's old girlfriend, since we are running a half marathon together in a month.  Hiked up to Bells Reservoir with my kids and family.  Ran a dirt trail while my kids were at a dance camp. I played at the pool with my kids, then had a Justin Bieber party at my house tonight. I'm still sore, but did it anyway! :)

Ran 11.5 with my 21 yr old nephew.  I was pathetically slow, but so was my nephew Michael.  We haven't been on a run together since the marathon 8 weeks ago.  This is the farthest I have ran since April 16th...sad! I am so out of shape it is depressing!  We had a good time laughing at ourselves since just about everyone out running was passing us!

My legs were sore after my extremely difficult run yesterday. :)  Ran to the BC trailhead to head up to the lake.  It was such a beautiful morning.  The wildflowers are in full bloom.  I brought my mace but the trail was full of people today which made it hard to get around some of them.  

There were so many cute, young girls on the trail today.  I am thinking I need to bring my nephews up with me to run the trail on Saturdays to help them meet some cute chics!

 I was at a wedding yesterday morning.  My nephew was married in the Salt Lake Temple.  It was such a beautiful day.  Elder Russell Nelson performed the marriage.  His advice to the newly married couple, Matthew 6:33, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." I kept thinking of this all yesterday and this morning as I ran up the trail.  I have been in a bit of a rut lately.  I need to be better in so many ways.  My new resolve is scriptures everyday...no excuses!  They always seem to make me feel better all around.  I need to put the most important things first.
