Who would've thought....

...That the girl who said she wasn't a runner would ever run 900 miles??
Here's to the next 900!!

"Craziness"

You know that crazy person that you see out running in all sorts of miserable weather??

Well, tonight, that was me.

Made a little pact with myself this week that I was going to run every other night this week,, no matter what the weather. Tonight it rained. But I didn't let it stop me.

Lost my running partner halfway through, so for a while I was out there on my own.

Just me, the mist, the rain, and the sound of my feet on the pavement. If that's craziness, I'll take it.

Goals for 2011

I'm not usually one who makes "New Year's Resolutions". Too easy to give them up. I tend to set goals for the new year instead. Usually I keep them to myself, but not this year.

This year, I'm making them public. That way it's way harder for me to give up. :o)

So here they are, in no particular order.

  • Run a half marathon
  • Run the Charleston Distance Run
  • Read at least 100 books
  • Try new foods
  • Increase my running pace

This list is subject to change (and by change, I mean I may add to it. But not take any thing off.)

Here's to a happy, healthy & fun 2011!
