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!?

Not sure how I pulled this off after running 18 miles yesterday but I ran this at an 8:20 average pace with a headwind...:)

Tired. I hate running into the wind which is  what I did for half of this run.

A mixture of strides, threshold running/fartlek today.  I must run essyy tomorrow!  8:44 average pace seems slow but it was challenging being tired  and sore legged!

Warm morning!!  Split this run into two separate runs.  Ran 4 miles in the morning and ran down a trail that I stumbled across.  I t looked nice but it had a big surprise waiting for me about a 1/4 mile down it as I ran upon a swarm of bees! I hauled ass out of there!!  So scared! I thought for sure I was going to get attacked!  The PM miles were much more pleasant as I ran them with two of my gal pals!!

8:53 average pace with a headwind of 15mph the whole way back home. Lots of hills and went into this run still tired and sore from the week.  It was a good training run. A few stops as my upper back was cramping towards the end but overall I faired pretty well considering the irritasting wind.
