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

My sis from Seattle was in town and she wanted to hike up to Lake Blanche and Lillian up Big Cottonwood.  She cancelled on me because of the storm Sunday night.  She was worried we would get caught in another thunderstorm or stuck hiking in the mud, so we hiked up Little Cottonwood and then Bells.  Trails were fine.

I was planning on running outside, but my 4 year old thought I was going to run in the basement and was so excited to get down there and play while I run....I ended up running on the tread for him.

I couldn't decide weather to run an easy half and run it with my friend or make it a race.  I was at the starting line and the gun went off and I thought...well, it is a race and even though I am not in the greatest shape thought I should give it my all. It was a PR for me.  It was a fun run and made some new friends along the way.

I'm in Lake Powell now and had the most beautiful run yesterday morning from Page, AZ to the Wahweap Ranger Station.  I ran across the Glen Canyon Dam Bridge.  So beautiful.  This is my favorite place to run.  I love Powell!  Two full days of water skiing, wakeboarding and tubing.  Kids are having fun. One more day to go in the sun! :)
