I'm sitting here on a Sunday night with a sudden desire to create a blog. I completed more in the field of running in 2010, than I ever could have imagined. My New Year's resolution for 2010 was to lose weight and get back in shape. Without any specific goal weight in mind, I managed to lose over 40 pounds from eating healthy and walking 3 miles most evenings. In May, I wanted to increase my fitness, so I started the couch to 5k. In September, I completed my first unofficial 5k. In October, I completed my first 5K in just over 30 minutes. I knew I could do better, so I signed up for another 5k in November. This time, I managed to complete the race in just over 28 minutes. Still yearning for better times, I completed another 5k in December, with a race time of 27:59. Somehow, these races inspired me to train for a half marathon. I'm currently seven weeks away from my first half. I've created this blog as a way for me to keep track of my running.
A couple of goals for 2011:
- 5k race in under 26 minutes
- finish a half marathon in under 2:30
- finish a full marathon
- run 1102 miles
