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!?

Feet aren't too bad today.  Was planning a short scoot but then the weather got really bad here.  Total down pours and wind!!  I opted to rest my feet today and curl up on the sofa. Could have run on the treadmill... oh well.  Did complete my weight routine though!!

2 miles at 9 minutes pace... 4 miles at 8:50 pace on the treadmill. Sore left foot but it loosened up after the first 2 miles.  Did this run in 2 mile segments as I had some interruptions.  Hoping that this coming week, I can get my mileage back up in the 40's.  What a crappy last 2 weeks.  I have been working so much too which has made it a challenge for me to get my running in.  I am typically spent after taking care of these pediatric patients.  It can be emotionally draining.
