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!?

| Very slow...wasn't feeling this run from the beginning. I feel really tired like I am coming down with something. I have that feeling in my throat. Kept my heart rate at 150 average even though my past was over 11 min/mile but there were lots of inclines on this trail at Daley Ranch. I ran today for Cystic Fibrosis... a very important cause and even though I wasn't feeling the run, I was there for that purpose today. | |

6 miles in the AM on the mill.... felt so tired but forced myself to do it. Ran alternating between a 9:30-10:00 min/mile pace then to break myself out of the slogger I incorporated 4 x 400 meters at 8:13. 2 miles in the PM on the mill at 24 hour fitness - 9:30 pace or so.... then went to Yoga class and had my butt handed to me as I struggled to stretch and loosen my tight hamstrings and poor flexibility in my back. I can feel all my sore muscles from the weight lifting and abs work I did on Sunday.

| Warm up.... then 1 x 1600 at 7:31 pace with 200 meter recovery, then 2 x 1600 at 7:08 pace with 200 meter recoveries. I was very tired. I wanted to do another repeat but I was spent. I think I didn't run slow enough last night on my recovery night... lessons learned constantly. |

| 9:12 pace average with 2 short stops to stretch my right hamstring. Still a little sore, but better today. I spent time stretching last night which helped some and did weights and abs. |

| Took a vicodin for my mouth pain before I left the house this morning. Didn't think that I was going to end up doing more than 8 miles but finished feeling really good after 18 miles. |

| 1 mile warm up...4 x 800 at 7:53 pace each with active 400 meter recoveries at 8:49 pace. 1 mile repeat at 7:40 pace then cool down. Should have run faster but I worked night shift last night and was feeling it due to the change in routine. |
