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

It has been a month since my 18.5 run that caused the stress fracture after a fun week of too much hiking and trail running.  

I am going crazy!  I am up to 113.5 pounds.  I don't remember the last time I weighed this much! :(  I  was sitting yesterday and felt that awful familiar feeling of having a fat roll hang over my pants!! I am a definite pear shape so when I can feel the fat on my stomach.....I know my weight is getting up there!  

I see the doc in one week.  I am hoping I can start back up again.  I am feeling like I want to head out today in this beautiful fall weather and run up the canyon, hit the trails and get that tired leg feeling that I love so much.  

 I downloaded a bunch of new songs to my ipod and have it ready to go.  I can't take it anymore!  I HATE the boot!
