| 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. |

Super 5K (3.1 Miles) 00:24:19, Place overall: 299, Place in age division: 11 | | My time was 40 seconds faster than my last 5k race! Not bad! I am so proud of myself! There was 1119 runners in this race, and my overall was 299, I was 62nd out of 479 women, and 11th for my age division, out of 83! I also conned my husband into running it too! He is just getting back into running races, and this was his first one in 15 years. He came in 43rd for his age bracket, 1058 overall and 624 for men's. His time was 37m 17s. I am so proud of him!

did a quick 3.1 outside. I have a nasty cold and an impacted wisdom tooth. I feel like dirt! But I did it! I have 4 mile sprints and weights to do tonight at the gym. I have my wisdom teeth scheduled to be pulled out next Friday. So not looking forward to that!
Did my 4 mile sprints. At 26:59 (out of 32 minutes), I hit the emergency stop button. Lucky me! Restarted and finished it!

| | Didn't run today..had dental appointment. I have three severly impacted wisdom teeth. Two have to come out on Thursday. The lower ones are laying on the nerve that allows me to feel my lower jaw and the one upper one has grown into my sinus cavity. I will be having surgery Thursday morning and taking Friday, Saturday and Sunday off. Hopefully I will be back to normal on Monday! | | Add Comment |
