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!?

| 3 cross training miles on the elliptical. My cold is now in my chest. I decided to do more of a strength training elliptical workout than a cardio intense workout due to my sore lungs. |

| 6 miles total...4 miles worth of running up and down hills. took it easy and talked the whole time with one of the attendees of my running group. 8:49 pace was easy on these hills tonight. When I first moved here...these hillsa used to kill me to run up them once! Amazed at how far I have come since then. :) |
