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!?

| Umm...this hurt. Pushed pace the whole time. Although my last ten miles were walk run walk run, I still tried to push. OUCH. |

| After a night of dancing and 5 hours sleep, that alarm clock sure did go off early for me. The first 10 miles I struggled mentally and just felt hard. I was running with my friend Ellie and Chris. They were running ahead of me and I just felt so frustrated during this run because I felt like I was chasing them the whole time! I got mad... then I got fast. ;-) I decided to run ahead and set the pace which I really surprised myself because at mile 11 for the next 6 miles I left them behind and ran around low to mid 8's. Last mile my right shoulder blade was killing me so I slowed to finish. Great training run!!! |

| 11 miles total with 9 miles at marathon pace (8:34 pace per mile). This was hard and is making me question if I can pull off this pace for the entire marathon. |

| 1 mile warm up then 6 x 1600 at 7:30 pace with 2 minute active recoveries, 1 mile cool down. I was totally ON today and could have mustered at least another 2 intervals. |

| I am so tired from my crazy work schedule, total lack of sleep, and the holidays. I did ok up to mile 15, but it was a mental battle from mile 2 onward today. Just not into this run and was really feeling the fatigue despite I took an additional day off from running this week. UGH. It's gonna be a flippin' miracle if I qualify for Boston at my marathon. Taper starts now... Time to shave off this 4 pounds that I gained through the holiday and keep sharp! 9:15 average pace. | | Comments(2) |

| 1/4 mile warm up brisk walk, then 6 mile tempo at 8:20 pace on the treadmill at the gym. It really should have been faster but I was so tired from working last night and only sleeping 4 hours this morning. Finished with a 1/4 mile walk to cool. |
