Time for another update! One of the many reasons excuses of why I haven’t spent much time blogging is because of a new hobby–> running! I started last Fall and have continued through the winter and into the spring. I also ran the Fall of 2008, but didn’t keep it up. I did the Couch to 5K program both times. It really worked for me.
Shoes!
I did several 5K races over the Fall (Susan Komen, Bernheim Forest, Pioneer Run, Highland Cup) and then signed up for the Polar Bear Grand Prix which was 3 races: Reindeer Romp 4k December 2009, Frostbite 5k January 2010, and Snowman Shuffle 4 Mile February. This race series is what kept me going through the winter (and also where I originally “met” Lynn).
I accomplished a MAJOR goal this weekend- I did the Triple Crown of Running! These three races are: 5K, 10K, and 10 Miles! Back in January, my goal was to do the first 2 races, but after I ran 5 miles with the Fleet Feet group in February, I decided to go ahead and sign up for all 3 races! And 2 weeks ago, when I ran the Rodes 10K (appro. 6.2 miles), I decided to sign up for the miniMarathon (which is a half marathon or 13.1 miles). Sounds crazy, right? It’s kind of addictive! I’ll try to post a Triple Crown recap shortly!
