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.

did 30 min of incline intervals and 30 min of pace work, and a 5 min cool down.  good run. looking forward to running outside this afternoon.  nice and warm at 33 degrees! its a heat wave!

Oh and did my first weigh in this morning. I lost 6 pounds last week. I know the first week, with me, I lose a bunch of weight. The following weeks tapers to 2-3 pounds a week. But 6 pounds...not bad!

did a nice run. couldn't run outside yesterday. the water company came and shut the water off for repairs. fine, but they disappeared and didn't turn it back on until 2, and with the kids home sick, there was no time to get anything done. lucky me.

might run outside today, depends on the wind. too windy, I don't go!
