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!?

I've got new sneakers and I am not ashamed!!! I am in a men's Nike Pegasus 26.... I've got wide feet and my toes can breath in these- so there! Couldn't wait to buy as my feet were screaming at me! Very pleased with Nike - test run great!! Snug in the heel, I felt the arch support from the moment I put them on and I like the room for my big toes. These are my 1st full marathon shoes and my 1st step to my 1st finish!!

 6 painful miles on the treadmill.... the reality... it's not all fun, and sometimes it's hell!! 1 mile warm up at 2% incline, 2 miles at 10% incline, 2 miles at 15% incline (brisk walk - so sore!!), 1 mile cool down.... OUCHIE!!!! It must have been the weighted squats yesterday.... lesson learned.

I procrastinated this morning.  Really sore still through my rear.  After I dropped the boys off at school, I came home, had breakfast and went back to bed for another hour.  I debated running at all today and questioned if I was going to even be able to pull off 1 mile... never mind 6!!!  Started with a 5 min. warm up on the elliptical and then I hopped on the treadmill. Somehow once I hit mile 3.... the time flew by and a lot of my aches and pains seem to disappear once again.  I did a song countdown and it just passed the time nicely.  I just love endorphins.... feeling less sore now.  Took the run very slow at a 9:30 pace per mile or so....but at least I got the mileage done.  Love my new running shoes!!!
