Personal:

I have been married for 18 years....

I have 2 boys - ages 8 yrs. and 16 yrs. old- they are fabulous kids - I am very blessed....

I am an RN and have been for around 12 years.

I lift weights regularly and work abs 2-3 days a week.  I enjoy the beach, like to sing, and love to run!!!

Quit smoking about 3 1/2 years ago and couldn't run 1/4 way around a track when I began... started with elliptical and then got into running more seriously.  Cranked up the mileage and intensity when I began training for my first 1/2 marathon.  The rest is history.... or history in the making!?

Holy crap.  Hamstrings are sore today and my abs are yelling at me. Got up early and headed out to the gym. 30 minute swim following by a soak in the jacuzzi and a few minutes in the sauna... ahh.

Planning to hit the road with Ellie this afternoon... probably a nice 6 miler... will add it later.
