| 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. |

| | Biked to the gym and home, did a very short run. My calf is still healing, and I don't want to push it! |

didn't go to the gym today. So it will be a nice long outside run later this morning. But I expanded my bike ride to 8 miles, and a huge hill!
Yesterday was our anniversary and he tried so hard. He took me mini golfing, and it started raining. Two weeks of sunshine and then it rains in the middle of a golf game. He is trying and I apprecate it. We rode bikes together, we are trying.
Oh yeah, RF is getting me their newest pair of running shoes AND a new Garmin GPS watch. Oh yeah, oh yeah *happy dance, happy dance* I was gonna do 10 miles,but my calf cramped up again so I cut it short at 9.1. It felt good to get on the road, and really stretch my legs out. Looking forward to going to the gym tomorrow and really cranking some miles this week! |

Did my 45 min of time intervals. felt good to get my legs going. a little sore from yesterday. but I did it.
off to bike 8 miles...then another 10 mile run...hopefully!
Did only 7 miles. :( My hamstring kept cramping up and I had to stop and re stretch it, so I called it a day after 7 miles.
I have 17 days until a big company dinner for my husband. I want to trim down another 4-6 pounds. Among all the wifes in his division, I am literally the only one that exercises, including his bosses wife and the division head's wife. Dh said he is looking forward to showing me off and I get a new dress for the event. I can safely lose between 4 and 6 pounds, unsafely I can go down as much as 10 pounds. But exercising and eating right for me at this point isn't about drastic weight loss. I can always stand to lose a little more, but I do want to trim down just a touch more! |

I added 5 min on to my 45 min intervals for 50 min total. Gradually gonna add 5 more..and 5 more and 5 more...*tee-hee*
On a huge down hill slope, I was gaining speed, went to slow down, and my rear brakes snapped...why me? Thankfully the front brakes worked great! Time to get it repaired....again! *tee-hee*
did 10 miles outside. Nice and slow. I stopped to stretch every couple of miles. I'm pushing it on miles, but not time. Nice and slow.... |

Middle of my intervals, I got cramped up and had to cut it short. I want to push it, but not hurt myself.
did the 7.25 mile loop into a huge head wind. I hate Michigan weather....It's summer and 59 degrees, rainy and windy. Looks like fall is here!
I ran in the rain...nothing better than a long run in the rain! |
