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!?

40 minutes on the elliptical.. 2.5 crosstraining miles. 5.68 miles at 8:28 pace... 3 miles in finally I was warmed up!  Then cruised with the youngins on the way back.  We had a large group tonight at the Movin Shoes meet up.  When the group set out together, it was like running with mobile christmas trees! Lots of head lamps, blinking lights and reflectors!!

Fartlek 8:25 average pace.  Expecting sore calfs tomorrow! Should start getting less now that I am adapting to the Vibrams. Starting to really like the feel and how light weight they are! One cross training mile earlier in the day just to help with my sluggish morning.  So tired today and managed a 30 minute power nap prior to my 6 miler by the ocean.

3 mile walk which I won't include in my mileage. 5 cross training miles on the stationary bike. Was planning a run but wasn't feeling well.  Sore throat and cold symptoms had be too tuckered.

One hour on the stationary bike for 10.1 crosstraining miles. Not counting all of this in my mileage today, just half.  Planning a short scoot later. Still not feeling well although the sore throat is gone.

Was hoping to fartlek this run which I did for the first 4 miles but then mt calfs kept cramping and I developed a pain on the top outer area of mt left foot. This ade for slow running the last 4 miles. I hope that this is nothing serious.

Slow moving today. Left top of my foot still a bit painful today. Right calf sore. Still trying to shake this cold that I have. First 2miles hurt, next 2 miles my foot felt better, last 2 miles it was stop and go. My calf kept tightening up and I had to keep stopping to stretch that and my left foot. Will rest tomorrow.
