| Location: Ypsilanti,MI,United States Member Since: Dec 13, 2008 Gender: Female Goal Type: Marathon Finish Running Accomplishments: I started running last year, my first race was December 2008. It was my first 5k. In the past year I have done 5k's, a 5 miler, 10k, 10 miler and my first half marathon. I started running so I could keep off the weight I had lost (70 pounds). And in running, I have found solace, peace, and friendships. Short-Term Running Goals: My goals for 2010 are:
*2150 total miles
*finish a walking/jogging marathon
*a 2 hour half marathon Long-Term Running Goals: I want to take each year as it comes.
2009 goal was just to run. I did make the goal of 2000 miles. It was my first year running. I will update my total on the 31st of January.
Personal: This past year has been frought with difficulty, trials, and stress. But it has also been a blessing. I learned what I can do, what my body can do, and how to make myself what I want to be.
My three kids have been a wonderful inspiration, and my husband, not matter how we fuss, fit or fight, is ultimately my best friend. |

been struggling with some personal issues the last couple weeks. that always throws me off my game.
but i have adopted a new view point...it is what it is....it is not my drama, and i don't want it. if I can go 'zen' about things, then I am able to put things where they belong and get on with my life.
and, if it wasn't for the support I get from this community, I don't know if I would still be running. so anyone that reads this...thanks...you all inspire me to go farther. thanks! ♥
did my second run (4.13miles) in a strong head wind. I had to stop every now and again to stretch and I kept gettting a pain in my upper calf. Do not want to get hurt this close to a race! 10k in 3 weeks! | | Add Comment |
| | Time to buckle down and get some real work done! 66 days until vacation...got to get back into shape! and almost 9 miles is a great way to start out the week! | | Add Comment |
| | did my second run at incline intervals for 4 miles and a 5 min cool down. winds today are not runable...well for me at least! *giggle* | | Add Comment |

I was having a great treadmill run, when I pulled the plug at about 7.5 miles. I was 2 1/2 min into a set, so I started that set over, and finished with 9.42 miles. not bad. but I hate that emergency plug. can't wait to run outside!
got a cramp while I was on my incline intervals...cut it short. | | Add Comment |
| | can't focus today. I'm about as useful as handles on a glove today! | | Add Comment |

took three days off...some how screwed up my shoulder to the point it hurts to take a deep breath, and running is craptastic.
bad mood, bad bad mood! | | Add Comment |
| | feeling better today....man i was in so much pain yesterday. i cried all afternoon. nothing the docs could do, just a strained muscle or pinched nerve. but next to child birth...this was the worst! Worse than when I broke my toe running the half marathon! but I did a half run and will do another half this afternoon. still sore, but don't want to push it! | | Add Comment |
