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!?

2 mile warm up...4 x 3/4 mile repeats with 1/4 mile active recoveries...first 3 repeats at 7:30 pace, last one at 7:00 pace! Tired but managed to get it done after a busy day spent with Walter and his family visiting from Utah!  We had such a nice day at the beach and enjoyed hot dogs on the grill after!!! Yay!!!

Boy... these shoes have about had it.  Five easy miles along the Carlsbad Coast with the group out of Road Runner Sports.  Great run and really enjoyed the no pressure feel.  I can feel some strength coming back for me.  The fast repeats are starting to work their magic and I am feeling better!  Bought some Montrail trail running shoes for my long run on Saturday at Mount Laguna.  They are sooo nice!  I am excited to wear them and getting excited over my upcoming Ultra in September which will be held on the same trails I will run this weekend.  Should be an interesting run being that the first half is downhill and the second half is a climb!

Nice run... I was tired from the beginning and had felt a little under the weather today but managed to get it done!  Hills were tough but so love running down them and passing the guys that ran ahead of me!  This workout is really going to help for my ultra!

What a run today!  Ran 8 miles downhill for almost a 4300 foot drop starting at around 6300 feet above see level, only to have to return up 4300 feet!  Brutal on the quads!!!  Had such a great run with friends and it was so nice having Walter Brown joining us today on this killer trail run!  What a trooper!  He just raced this past sunday at World Master's and here he was running this with me today!  Thanks Walter for coming!  We had a great picnic afterwards!  Lost one of our runners but thankfully he was found after about 1 1/2 hours searching for him!
