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 race was great!  Still waiting on the results to be posted!

But I did go to the Running Fit Volunteer party...and I was named their favorite volunteer!  The owners and the director of RF gave me a gift card, a duffle bag filled with lots of goodies.  It was so sweet!  I had so much fun!

Couldn't ask for more! My second 10k, but my first trail 10k!  Lots of hills, lots of twists and turns, and lots of mud!  Loved every second of it!  Even when I biffed it down a hill!
