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!?

Chilly morning. Team Cessy met up at the park for our race/walk for epilepsy in honor of my 2 year old patient. A bit windy as well in the bay. I had hoped to break 23 minutes today...my right foot with the tendonitis hurt with each footfall. Not a lot of fast runners in this race so I was running alone a lot which mentally does nothing for my ambition. The lead female was a ways ahead and I just couldn't catch her with my darn side stitch. My first mile was in the mid 6 pace.. I have learned that I need practice in racing 5k's. It is certainly a different "feel" than a marathon. I could have reached my goal today if I had rested more, had a little less wind but most of all, running back I ran into hundreds of people walking the narrow paved sidewalk extending into the grass. It was a crazy game of dodgums...I think at one point I lept over a 3 year old. Well...I will take my second place female finish regardless with a smile!
