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

Ran 5 in 41:30 on the dreadmill!  It was torture...I'm not gonna lie! Ha!  I missed all of the great fall running weather and now I am stuck running inside...dang foot! Half an hour on the bike too, I was procrastinating getting on the treadmill. :)

Ran 5 in 44 minutes...haha! Pathetic, I know! It was tough too!  Rode bike for 20 and elliptical for 20.  I did a kickboxing class yesterday morning and it kicked my trash!  My body is so sore...I LOVE IT!

Stomach flu going around my house.  Started last week with my 13 yr old.  I had one kid sleeping next to me and one at the foot of the bed on my feet all night.  I didn't feel great yesterday and thought I was going to puke all night....brought back great pregnancy memories.  Couldn't stand the smell of my kitchen this morning, had to Lysol and open windows, kept running to the bathroom.  On the bike for 30 minutes and tread and dread for 1 hr.  I had to get off a couple of times, walk a bit, but ran a full 5....just not fast.  I actually didn't feel like I was going to puke while running.  Glad the run is over and hope to be feeling like I am unpregnant soon! Bleh!  Hope you have a nice weekend all!

Still feeling fluey, but much better than the past two days!  Went around the corner from my house to run the Half Pregnant Half Marathon that Jun put on this morning.  I only ran the 10K.  It was suppose to storm this morning, but luckily it waited until now.  It was windy at the start and I was the only girl there.  I was a bit disappointed since I thought Kelli, Smooth, and maybe Rad would be there.  There was no shortage of guys however.  Dorsimus looked especially cute with his largely pregnant belly.  I couldn't look at him without laughing! I brought a balloon to put under my shirt to run half pregnant looking, but Jun (Craig) needed it since he forgot his and besides, I have been pregnant enough.

I didn't meet anyone from the blog except Dorsimus and Jun.  Craig's mom and a friend showed up right before the start and I was gladly not the only gal there.  The race started and the large pack of guys running the half were off and not long out of my sight! It was a great run. I have only been up to running 5 for a week and since having the flu and not feeling great, I was a bit worried that I would be running for bushes.  

I ran into Leslie the half pregnant runner that the run was put on for when I was on my way back with about 2 miles to go.  She came a little late.  She looked cute running with her little bump.  I got a little nervous when I was all alone and ran across a bridge that had a picture of a LARGE cougar that had been on that bridge recently! yikes!

The run was beautiful.  The smell of fall was in the air and it was so nice to be out on the trails again.  I haven't been able to run that far since the middle of August.  I brought my ipod, but didn't even turn it on.  I wore some old running shoes because I thought I would be a muddy mess by the time I finished.  It was a bad idea since there were quite a few areas that were icy and I was slipping all over the place.  Loved the run. Wish I could do runs like that more but am always a bit afraid to go out on my own never knowing if I will run into a cougar or a creeper.  Thanks Craig for putting on a fun run!
