Long-Term Running Goals:

I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.

Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:)

I am married to a supportive and driven husband. Together we enjoy geocaching, hiking, camping, reading and playing games with our three rambunctious children.

Aside from running, I am a homemaker and a Mental Health Therapist. Running has given me the ability to better concert my energies between my family, faith and friends.

I may be in trouble. Ran 1/2 mile before my OTHER ankle did the exact same thing as its right counterpart did last month. Barely made it through a mile before I quit. I have some aggressive plans to prep it the best I can from now until tomorrow's 10 miler. No faking this one, so it's either there or it's not. So scared. I'll go in and have it shot up on Monday so it has some time to heal before the half. What is the deal with these crazy weak ankles!

If your ankle is gimpy tomorrow, you can back off and run with the slower group (mine). Fingers crossed that won't be necessary.

Good luck tomorrow. Hope the aggressive plans take care of the ankle.
