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!?

8 miles...not bad but my music kept malfunctioning. After stopping several times to try to fix it...I finally gave up and ran to the sound of cars and my breathing. Boring!!! Then 30 mins on the elliptical when I got home. Later will likely get another 2 miles in doing laps with the hubby and my Evan on his bike around the neighborhood. 2.07 miles around the neighborhood....fast.... :)

1.5 mile warm up.... 1/2 mile repeats x 4 on incline of 6 with 3 minute recoveries...then cooldown. Another 3.25 miles on the beach. Crazy running. Felt like I was doing some kind of football training... it was like running tires cuz I had to dodge and run around rocks. Exhausting...still ran a 9:10 average pace considering the rocks and the fact my legs are like bricks...not bad. |

| Was supposed to be a total rest day... but once I got to the beach, I couldn't resist! I love to run bare foot in the sand... so I did some sprints and it felt great !! I will have to guess the distance since I had no watch. When IZ got home I ate awesome pasta dinner!! | | Add Comment |

| 8:52 average pace first 8 miles slowed to 9:10 next 8 miles. Bathroom stop at mile 8 due to GI upset :-( otherwise, run wasn't bad. Had head wind of 15 mile per hour winds on my way home. I have to really work hard this coming month or Boston will not happen. I think I have made some progress but there is so much more that needs to be done. |
