| 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. |

My mood has elevated, a lot. I am more focused now, than I have been in ages. I am ready to take on the day!
I think pushing myself to run longer has helped pull me from my funk. I was doing too much eliptical, and couldn't figure out why my miles were sucking and hard. so i elipitcal on the weekends and run during the week.
we are going on vacation this weekend, Friday through monday. I will be bike riding during those days and pick up running again on Tuesday. Going up north to Petoskey. I don't know how to spell it, let alone say it! Looking forward to a getaway! | | Add Comment |
| | what a run! *giggle* I put my shorts on from last year. They fit..but the butt was tight. Last year (and my whole life) I had a pancake butt (you know, flat and long...) But since I had started incline training, squats and dead lifts, I now have a bubble butt! *giggle* | | Add Comment |
| | changed my sprint speed from 8.0mph to 8.5mph. so I go from 7.3, 7.4, 8.5, 7.6, 7.7. One minute each, at .5, 1.0 and 1.5 incline. getting better. not looking to add to the miles, just the degree of difficulty. | | Add Comment |
