| 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. |

Took the holiday weekend off to enjoy myself. And I did, a little too much. Got a ton of sun, ate whatever I wanted (haven't done that in a LONG time), and now is time to get back on course. As much as I loved this weekend, I longed to run. I missed it. Now is time to atone for my sins (food and laziness) and get back into shape. I have another trip planned for the 4th of july weekend. I have to wear a full swim suit, we are going to a RV waterpark. 33 days until I have to be in a bikini. No subsitutions and no going back. Can't wait! Bring it on!
not a bad way to kick off a new month! felt good doing inclines and sprints. I love it! | Add Comment |

had to call it a day at 7.04 miles. got a sharp pain running from the left side of my lower back, going down to my knee and up to my shoulder. Any ideas? I pushed it a little harder on the incline intervals today. maybe that's it. i don't know. but i did run and get my time in.
my son is getting an academic award at school today, has his 8th grade dance tomorrow and graduates 8th grade next Friday! I can't believe it...where did the time go? Oh and my middle son turns 8 at the end of the month! *tear* | Add Comment |
| | I will be taking the week off, due to injury! My sciatic nerve is acting up, and anything that has impact hurts. If it doesn't start to feel better by Friday, I will be heading to a chiropractor on Monday. See you all next week, hopefully! | Add Comment |
