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!?

A little tired this morning after having a few beers last night with friends.... but got out there.  The run felt pretty good.  Beautiful morning along the malecon.  Pace was in the 8:30's per mile.  Did stop for fluids at mile 4.  I have some great news!!   I finally have a marathon!  I registered this morning for the Top of Utah Marathon coming this September in hopes of getting my BQ.  The pressure is now on and I've got some work to do.  Anyone else on here running it?  I would love to meet in person some of my fellow bloggers!!!  Any suggestions from anyone that has already run this one?  Training suggestions?  How about hotels in the area?

Nike Vapor Quick 2 Miles: 8.50

How do you have a "few" beers..haha. Kidding.

As for the Top of Utah..Coolio! I vote we have a party at Kelli's house...She has lots of treats I hear...

I may end up running Top of Utah if I don't get into St. George. I should just run Top of Utah..St. George's lottery makes me mad and the Marathon is over rated! Haha. :)

Yeah- I was looking at the St. George... I didn't want to wait till May to find out if I was going to run that one or not. I have to get my BQ and didn't want to wait till the following month to try for it.... thought that it might be too late because I am hearing that registration for Boston will be closing probably even earlier this year. I have my goals!! We will have to try and meet up. I am hoping to get up there about 2-3 days before the marathon so I can enjoy the scenery and local sites.
