FULL MOON

RUN: 70 MIN. / TREADMILL / 8R:1W

You can always tell the time of a full moon at the hospital. Today was no exception to the rule. It began when I walked in to find the 2 computers that run our treatment machine were down. I dialed the 800number for our help line and reached a sex talk line. That was no help! I finally got everything going. Next we had 2 emergency patients added to our overscheduled day. Unfortunately both patients had brains mets and were very combative. One thing after another happened thensuddenly we realized it was already 2:30 and nobody had stopped or eaten lunch. When I left everthing was done and calm. That only happens when you work with a great team like I do.

I did make it to the gym tonight and ran on the treadmill. It was dark, cold and the winds were gusty so I opted for the inside. Being on the treamill I was able to push myself to a harder workout than I would have done outside.

I checked the weather for the weekend and it looks good for my long run.

Waddling and howling at the moon..................

TOO ANGRY ...

TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY : ZERO

Did you ever get so pissed off that you couldn't even work out? Last night it happened to me. I won't go into the reason. But I could only see red and there was no chance of focusing for spin class. That made me even madder. I need to get this time in.

Tonight the weather outside was horrible. Extremely windy and very cold. I had to take my MIL to the doctor. By the time I helperd her with a few things and headed home it was 7pm. I thought that I could get to the gym by 8. The wind overturned a tanker truck and shut down my was to get home. I was delayed over and hour and exhausted by the time that I walked into the door. Another night lost.

Waddling to relax for the night...........

QUALIFIED FOR BOSTON!!!!

MARATHON - 3:35 BOSTON QUALIFIER!!!

Race report

It was a day made for running. The temperatures were 40 degrees and there was no wind. I was facing a flat course. When I lined up,I knew what I needed to do. As I looked at the other runners, they were as anxious as me. The first 10 miles went smooth. I was right on what I wanted to run. I hoped to run the second half with negative splits. The next 10 miles went by very quickly. My hydration and Gu was right on target. Then came the final 10K. I was actually able to pick it up. Soon I could see the finish line. I can't believe it! On the spur of the moment to run a marathon and BQ. The run of a lifetime.

APRIL FOOL'S DAY

SUNDAY : RUN : 2:35 / 10.76 MILES / 4R:1W
MONDAY : RUN : 0:30

I didn't BQ but I did have a good solid long run. But what a dream that was. I spent most of the weekend moving my MIL in her new house. That went well. She's finally in and loves her new home.

There is 5 weeks left until the PIG. My long runs are lined up:

• April 8--15 miles
• April 15-- 20 miles
• April 22-- 5K race
• April 29-- 10 miles

It seems like you have alot of time to prepare but it come on quick.

Waddling to watch Dancing with the Stars..............
