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!?

Didn't sleep that well and woke up to 85 degrees and 89% humidity.... the run kicked my whole running group's butts!!!  I was supposed to run 8 miles this morning for the taper.... it was so miserable out there.  I was soaked and just could not breath, so I cut the run short.

4 miles on the malecon.... felt a little better this morning....but still not feeling like running a marathon.  I feel heavy and like a slug....no energy.  What is going on?  Where is my gusto?

I could whine some more about how crappy I feel when I run through this taper, but I think I will just shut my mouth now.

Felt better tonight and got some good sleep last night.  5 miles on the malecon with 

Abel and my husband.  Took it easy an average a 9 min/mile pace.  I think my legs are coming back....

A nice 4 miler tonight.... just wanted to go slow and no pressure.  Ran at a speed where I felt like I was hardly breathing.... 9:31 per mile pace.  Got out there and felt good despite the fact that I had just eaten a huge meal along with washing it down with 3 beers!!  Oh well... a little burping grossness but the run is done and so am I until sunday's marathon.  Hoping for the best and hoping that it all comes together.
