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!?

8:27 average pace... nice and flat here in arizona... I felt good after mile 3 and I definately had more in the tank. Long run tomorrow... meeting up with Burt around the half way mark of it.  I  should be slightly delarious at that point.  I must have had residual neuromuscular fatigue from my speed work but that is resolved!!  yay!!!

20 miler... last 12 with Burt.  So happy thsat he was with me!!  Last long run before the marathon... I think I have the speed but I worry about holding pace and not falling apart the last 6 miles of the marathon.   I will be doing several progression runs the next 2 weeks to work on this area as I taper.  I am gonna keep sharp!!

1 mile warm up... 1 mile at 3% incline 10 min pace (feeling very stiff), 2 miles at 9:13 pace, 1 mile at 3% incline at 9:40 pace, 1 mile cool down.  Tired and winded a little.
