| 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. |

| | out sick with the stomach flu |
| | after being sick with the stomach flu for two days, I decided to take it easy today. I did only one 30 minute run, and some light weights. I've lost 4 pounds in the last week, mainly due to being sick...didn't eat much the last two days. |
| | off sick...wasn't feeling well, took the day off |
| | did 2 30 minute stints on the treadmill and heavy weights. 10 inches of snow on the ground and all running paths are not being plowed...impossable to run outside! | |
| | I had to cut my treadmill run short cause "workout Barbie" was next to me, gabbing on her cell phone while she "ran oh so hard and fast" (as she put it to the person she was talking to!). Distracted me, no matter how loud my ipod was, she was there, just as loud! I want to run outside! |
| | Nice long hour run! I loved every step! |
| | 30 minute of sprints and a half hour of really heavy weights! |
| |
only 5 miles this morning.
an additional 3 in the afternoon. 42 degrees, strong head wind. |
| | 30 min sprints followed by arm/leg weights |
