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!?

This race was something else! I ran five 5k races all on the same day which started at 7:05 am and ended with the last race at 12:30 pm! We ran with different age groups and sexes with short breaks between the races. My goal was to get progressively faster, but that plan went out the window when I ran the first race 30 seconds per mile faster than I had originally planned. The next race was my age group so I decided to pick it up a little. I couldn't run all out because I had 3 more 5k races to run, but still I was pleased with the time. I think I am capable of a low 23. The third race I decided to still push it a bit. Race four, was a "restful" pace but still fast for me. By race five, I just wanted to be done already!!! However, still managed a good pace although I was tired. This was a great training day for me!!! I am a little sore today, but nothing like I was when I have pushed the pace for a long distance. What a fun day running with my friend Mary! She and I run very similar paces so she was with me a lot during each race and we kept each other going. We sure did enjoy a few beers after the race in the beer garden! If anyone can tell me what all those numbers below mean... I would appreciate it... I get the overall, but not sure what the others mean... I am not race data savvy. Place over all.... 88 out of 258(that ran the all day 25k)... there were more participants obviously for each 5k race. Typically around 1100-1500 runners per 5k. Time cumulative 2:07:44 / 8:14 average for all 5k's

| Met up with the girls for my running group hill workout. Crazy afternoon weather-wise! The wind was whipping and nearly blew us over at times. Running into the wing was sure fun. Strange tooo exert yourself and push forward to only move a fraction of the usual distance. Took it easy and did 8:31 average pace and ran only 4 hills instead on the usual 6. Beenn sleeping a lot this week. Recovering quickly though. I dont feel winded at all when I run. Just general fatigue. Leg soreness is gone. |

| Right foot has a little bit of tendonitis in the top of it... felt it coming on yesterday at the end of my 8 miler. Felt a little residual fatigue from the week and yesterday on the run. Took it a bit easy and ran with my son Evan while he road his bike. 8:34 average pace and took about 1-2 minutes of rest every 3/4 of a mile when Evan and I would meet on the hill. Marathon training begins tomorrow... saying goodbye to drinking beer (now only one day a week), eating healthy, early to bed, and racing a 5k next weekend. I am pacing a friend on June 5th in hopes of a Boston Qualifying time for her... it will be a training run for me. By October, I plan to hit a 3:45 or less and shave a bit of time off my BQ to ensure my registration for Boston 2012! And so it begins... |

Sharon's Ride/Run for Epilepsy (3.1 Miles) 00:23:24, Place in age division: 2 | | Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | | 0.00 | 3.10 | 3.10 |
| Chilly morning. Team Cessy met up at the park for our race/walk for epilepsy in honor of my 2 year old patient. A bit windy as well in the bay. I had hoped to break 23 minutes today...my right foot with the tendonitis hurt with each footfall. Not a lot of fast runners in this race so I was running alone a lot which mentally does nothing for my ambition. The lead female was a ways ahead and I just couldn't catch her with my darn side stitch. My first mile was in the mid 6 pace.. I have learned that I need practice in racing 5k's. It is certainly a different "feel" than a marathon. I could have reached my goal today if I had rested more, had a little less wind but most of all, running back I ran into hundreds of people walking the narrow paved sidewalk extending into the grass. It was a crazy game of dodgums...I think at one point I lept over a 3 year old. Well...I will take my second place female finish regardless with a smile! |

| So fun! Met with the group and did a scavenger hunt which turned into an interval/threshold/fartlek run. 8:24 average pace with some recoveries in there as I was running with 2 fast guys on my team! At times, we were running in low 7's which is challenging in our hilly area! |
