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!?

| Cranked as fast as I could tolerate running along the strand in Oceanside. Running with my speedy son certainly pushes this old girl! I was running some of this in the low 6's and although it was hard, I felt really good!!! | | Add Comment |

| 16 hilly miles but felt really good. Not terribly fast as that it hard to do here living in this hilly area of Vista, but it was the longest run I have done since Javelina 100 in October. |

| Very hilly 18 miler. The last 4 miles were tough and stop/go but I did it. Despite the pace being slow (took me 3 hrs) I do have to say that it wasn't a bad pace considering all the hills!! |

| Slow and easy. Ouch. Really hard to do this 6 miler on the treadmill and had to talk myself through it the whole second half of the run! It is pouring out and cold. Miserable day to go along with a miserable run but it was great training!!! |
