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.

the worst part of a good race...knowing what my body can do...and knowing that I can do better! 

I increased my speed and distance on my sprints. feels good to go faster...and harder!

ah....no way i'm going to make my weight goal by sunday...not gonna happen. So, I re tooled my goal, and it IS 10 pounds in the next 5 weeks.  My anniversary is 5 weeks from yesterday, and even though I am 65 pounds lighter than our first date...I want to lose the last 10 pounds.

So each week my goal is 2 pounds. a nice easy goal. Nothing to stressful, no starvation!
