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 love my workouts. what really irritates me is when over weight women in this neighborhood stare at me, point, and giggle as they are stuffing twinkies in their mouths.  I'm sorry you have a weight problem. I did too. But instead of pointing at me, try asking how you can control yourself.  I've gotten to the point that I make faces at them. Not the most mature thing to do, but staring at me when I am running or biking....yeah, I'm trying to get "u man" to look at me, Yeah, I'm the skinny bitch trying to take you man.... I undestand that some women are insecure, but come on, I'm not running for you, or "you man", or even my husband. I am running for me.  It's all FOR ME!

 

*tee-hee* this should tell you how bad at math I am.....I was planning on doing 8 miles outside today..and I did. I meant to bring my daily total to 12.3, I thought I counted right, but low and behold 8 + 5.3 does not equal 12.3....its 13.3. *tee-hee* at least I did a good run, and didn't fall!

Never mind folks being jealous and insecure! You deserve the gift you are giving yourself--health and fitness! The jealous ladies could join you if they wanted to!

It's funny that you say that...cause last year when I first started walking, I invited several of the neighbors to come with me. I got the same answer, "I'll let you know". And now, almost a year and a half later, I'm 70 pounds lighter, and they have gotten bigger.

Thanks so much for the positive words...I really appreciate it!
