Help to inspire others to get fit and be consistent in their training.....Continue to love running and stay injury free while I rack up the miles....

Personal:

I have been married for almost 20 years.... Dave is the only man that I think that was placed specifically on this earth to tolerate my crazy ways.

I have 2 boys - ages 9 yrs. and 18 yrs. old (senior in high schoold and known on this blog as "Ironman"- 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 4 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!?

6 miles sick.... wanted to run.  My body is sore and my legs are achey and heavy.  Got it done. Stopped every mile...sucks to feel like this.  Trying to trust the training that I have done and hope that being sick and running on the treadmill as much as I have had to, won't effect my marathon.  It is what it is.

Oh Kim. Nobody reads your blog because you never comment on anybody else's. :P

Seriously?

You can do great training only on a treadmill. People at the Olympic Trials have done it. It's the running that is the more important part.

Well, the Quantcast shows that you've had 64 people come to you blog in the last month. That's not bad. But the only reason people visit other blogs is because 1) they left a comment on their blog 2) they saw their name on the Lone Faithfuls list 3) They see their name near the top of the Mileage Board 4) they happened to blog around the same time you did and saw your name on the Most Recent Entries list.

It seems more people read your blog than leave comments. More people would leave comments if you left more comments on other blogs. That's why allie is so wildly popular. That and she's fast.
