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 of 1700 runners, I came in 373 overall, 17th (out of 143) for my division, and 108th (out of 959) out of all the women.  It was a hilly course, with two big hills.  All that incline training I was doing paid off!  I have been fighting a cold the last few days, and even though my time was not as fast as I wanted, I passed people (more experienced runners) on the hills, and I did a great job!  Not  bad for my third race!

My husband came in 41st for his division and 654th out of the men!  Not bad for a second race!

This cold has officially settled in my chest. Now I have to fight the cold AND train for my first 10K, which is in 2 weeks. Lucky me!
