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!?

Off!  Holy Crap!  I am so stinking sore!  I feel like I ran the Top of Utah Marathon yesterday but I feel worse than that if you can believe it!  Going down stairs backwards, avoiding the slightest touch to my legs... yeah... 

I honestly can't understand how my friends aren't hurting after that trail mountain run!  They have only complained about a few aches and pains.  I think they are pulling my leg and they can't sit on the toilet either without yelling!

4 miles on the mill then 7 on the road... average pace around a 9 min/mile or so. I wanted more mileage but I just didnt have the mental comitment to it.  Last weekend kicked my a** and I will be returning to Mt. Laguna/Noble Canyon again next weekend.  I really hope my legs fair much better this time.  I have had no speed in these legs all week.
