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

Went to the running store to buy some running skirts to cover up.  Bought two new skirts and a new pair of Altras.  My calves are hurting after running in them and so are my shins.  We'll see how they work.  Ran 3 and felt pretty good.  Off to do the running kids around. :)

6 miserable, long, terrible miles!  I went to my moms early for a run so that she could babysit and I wouldn't have to run on the dreadmill....bleh!  I thought I would start out slow and pick it up at the end.  I was sloooooow all the way through.  I never felt good and wanted to walk the entire run and I was so slow that I would have probably finished 6 earlier if I had been walking!  BAD run day! 

It is my hubs birthday on Saturday and the entire run today, I was trying to come up with something to make his day special.  He is turning 44.  He is 5 years older than I am and somehow looks 5 years younger! What do you get a man that has absolutely everything??? His birthday is going to start with our 7 yr old performing at the Festival of Trees, then our 13 yr old is testing for his 2nd black belt, then our 11 yr old has a party and then our 13 yr old has a black belt party that the family is invited to....long day filled with kid stuff and I don't know when I will somehow make it fun for him to celebrate his special day.  We don't even have enough time to go out to lunch or dinner together.  Friday night is full with kid stuff too.  He always tells me not to buy or do anything for his birthday, but when I have not made it special in some way, I can tell he is disappointed.  :(

Ran a half marathon in 2 hours with my nephew.  Great day!  

I ate a good breakfast, drank a protein shake on my way to meet my nephew and chewed down a cran-razz Shot Blok at mile 6.  I think I have been feeling crappy because I have been trying to lose the 4 pounds that I gained while I sat around while my foot was healing for 2 months.  It just isn't working and I am tired of always feeling hungry!  I'm going to change my blog name to fatandhappy! :)
