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!?

Well---14.6 miles in 2:08:14, average pace 8:47 per mile.  Checked my watch at 13.2 miles and I had a time of 1:56:04.  Last mile beat me up a bit, which I ran to Lady Ga Ga's Poker Face. Essentially, I think that's probably the face I had when it was done.  Had a few breathers during the run, so I know I have a few minutes that could possibly be knocked off if I get myself totally focussed and get my mind off the pounding that my body feels during some of those fatigue filled moments.  Still not fully recovered from Fridays' 11.5 miler...so overall... I am pleased.  Went for my ribs dinner.... I am feelin' nice and full.  Time for a nap!!!

Nice and easy 3 mile recovery jog... was enjoyable and felt no pressure from myself.  Need to have it like this once in a while...this type of run keeps me sane. Feeling like I may be getting a little bit of runner's knee on the left again.  Time to start re-working that leg solo with leg extensions.  I favor my right leg a lot since a left ankle sprain many years ago.  It throws off how I run and I think it plays a big part in why my left leg is weaker than my right.  Working the left leg solo seems to really help balance things out for me.

Miserable 8 miles.  My head was in the run the whole time and I just couldn't seem to get into the zone.  Tomorrow's run will have to be on the treadmill.  The road is beating me up.  I think I will make a massage appointment for tomorrow.  That always makes me feel refreshed.

Nice and easy slow run today.... was very tired and legs felt like weights, but I wanted that 48 mile marker this week, so it is done.  Tomorrow?  NO running for me... my day off.  Next week, hoping to feel more energetic.
