Long-Term Running Goals:
Someday run a sub 3 hour, 30 min marathon... anything is possible! My hopes are to continue to steadily improve and surprise a few people ;-)! 100 mile in 2013 Master's Woman's Bikini contest... yes... I may just do this in the coming year if I can manage to give up beer long enough to cut! 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!?

| Fartlek 8:25 average pace. Expecting sore calfs tomorrow! Should start getting less now that I am adapting to the Vibrams. Starting to really like the feel and how light weight they are! One cross training mile earlier in the day just to help with my sluggish morning. So tired today and managed a 30 minute power nap prior to my 6 miler by the ocean. | |

| Slow moving today. Left top of my foot still a bit painful today. Right calf sore. Still trying to shake this cold that I have. First 2miles hurt, next 2 miles my foot felt better, last 2 miles it was stop and go. My calf kept tightening up and I had to keep stopping to stretch that and my left foot. Will rest tomorrow. |

| 3mile walk today. 6 miles tonight. Don't know the pace as my garmin battery died. Left foot was fine tonight. Had been sore the past 2 days and I was concerned that I may have really done something serious to it. Took the pace easy. Beautiful night and sunset!!! | |

| Feet aren't too bad today. Was planning a short scoot but then the weather got really bad here. Total down pours and wind!! I opted to rest my feet today and curl up on the sofa. Could have run on the treadmill... oh well. Did complete my weight routine though!! | | Add Comment |

| 2 miles at 9 minutes pace... 4 miles at 8:50 pace on the treadmill. Sore left foot but it loosened up after the first 2 miles. Did this run in 2 mile segments as I had some interruptions. Hoping that this coming week, I can get my mileage back up in the 40's. What a crappy last 2 weeks. I have been working so much too which has made it a challenge for me to get my running in. I am typically spent after taking care of these pediatric patients. It can be emotionally draining. | |

| Average pace 8:10 however stopped my watch twice on this run. First time was to stretch and the second time was at mile 3 to watch the sunset. Quite pleased though considering my left foot was a bit sore. | |

| 1 mile warm up followed by 3 miles worth of steep hills x2.5 then .5 mile cool down. Although I stopped the clock for 2 minute recoveries at the top of each hill, my average pace was 7:56. Pleased for sure! This was my first time I have ever averaged in the 7's for a run! Very excited!! | |
