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!?

Had a few beers yesterday with some friends on the beach.  Could have been a bit better hydrated this morning for this run... but I gotta say.... I had plenty of carbs on board for it ;-)!!  (Maybe not the right carbs...)  Cranked out the first 10 miles at an 8:23 min/mile pace..... I was very pleased with that.  Then, 8 miles at 8:40 min/mile pace..... had to slow up a bit due to a side stitch and still a bit of coughing and nose blowing!!!  Overall, a good run and I am ready to eat!  Looking forward to spending the day with my husband and boys!!!  I think these long runs are starting to get a little easier and they are becoming more enjoyable - less fatigue filled which is always a good thing!  Happy Sunday everyone!!!!

Sore today.... took it easy at the beginning of the run and sped up just to be done!!  Average pace 8:31 min/mile.  Glad that's over... slept fair last night.  My calfs felt tight and woke me a few times.

Still feeling a bit fatigued and tired so I slowed it way down today and really enjoyed the run.  I met up with a gal on the malecon this morning.  She runs slow and steady... she kept me under control for this recovery run.  Average pace 9:01 min/mile.  Thank you Aurora!!  I should be feeling like a million by tomorrow.  Stopped off at the gym and completed my weight and abs routine.  It's such a beautiful day!!!

First 3 miles at 8:03 pace... happy that I was able to have enough energy to do a bit of a tempo run.  Next 6 miles slowed up to 8:52 pace.  It is getting very warm and humid already here.  I was really feeling it by 9am this morning on the malecon.  Excited to go watch the Triathalon tomorrow here in Mazatlan.  I have never seen one and it's going to be so neat!!  Tomorrow is my rest day.... I so need it.  It has been a bit of a killer week for me.

REST Day.... ?HMMM 20 miles tomorrow?  Let's see how I feel.... may stick with 18.... Went down to the malecon with my husband this morning and watched the Triathalon.  It was really neat!!  I have never seen one before.  Didn't stay for the whole thing, but got to see some amazing people do their thing!!
