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!?

OK- Yesterdays' 10 miler beat me up a bit.  Didn't think that I was going to do anything today other than weights and abs at the gym but...once I got on the treadmill and took a little walk, I felt better and then increased speed- cranked out 8 miles. I hopped off and proceeded over to the stair-master for a 18 minute climb.  Insanity... my husband is convinced that I have lost my mind.  I also question myself!!  But it is done.  Running on the treadmill seems so much easier and kinder to my body.  I do not think that I could have faired so well on the road this morning.  My knees were feeling it at first, but once I ran for about 15 mins, all aches seemed to disappear. Was hoping to hit 45 miles this week, we will see how it goes.

Nice workout, especially after yesterday's run.

About your profile pic, I have to ask . . .. after catching that ball, did you face plant? I picture you going face first into the water and I won't lie, I giggle just a little.

Thanks...Ha Ha - didn't do a face plant, but that would have made an excellent picture!!!
