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!?

11 mile bike ride and 3 mile run.  Only taking credit for part of the mileage on the bike as it was moderate in intensity.  The run was tough and it was run/walk for the 3 miles. It hurt.

Stomach was off from time time I finished supper until mile 4.  Thank goodness I was near a restroom. Walked once on the way back. My poor tummy.

Workout #1 - 1 mile brisk walk on the treadmill with 10 pounds of weights strapped on my waste at 10% incline. I will do more later after work tonight.

Workout #2 -  4 mile brisk walk on the treadmill with 10 pounds of weight strapped on my waste at 10% incline.  I can only hope that this is going to really help in my ultra.  It gets very steep in areas.

Workout #1 - 1.5 miles brisk walk at 10% incline with 10 lbs. strapped aroung my waste and 2 lbs. weights in each hand. I was dripping sweat by the time I was done.

 

Workout  #2 - 8.5 miles. Took it easy and did just a few hills. I am spent. This was stop and go but I did push pace here and there. I have no speed. The high mileage and intensity has zapped me.

18 miles at Noble Canyon yesterday to prepare for my 50k on Sept. 17th. Started at 6200 foot elevation then ran down 4000 feet only to run up on the return. I felt so much stronger this time!  I was tired but I could have mustered a few more miles NP.
