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.

I did the half marathon. About 5 miles into it, I hit a rock, and hit the ground. I did finish, but with a fractured toe and a slighly sprained ankle.  I am in a lot of pain, not only from the run, but my foot is KILLING me. 

Love, peace and running!

 

The Results were just posted:

I came in 5th out of 19 in my age bracket (I PLACED!!!!)

I was 65th out of 217 over all runners, and 23rd out of 126 women.

Not bad for a first half marathon AND a broken toe!  YEAH ME!

Ouch! Way to push through the pain and still finish. I hope you foot heals up okay. Best of luck.

Oh dang I am so sorry you got hurt! Impressive that you finished. Ouchy it could not have felt good to run on a broken toe and sprained ankle! Take care of yourself and get on some ice!
