Running Accomplishments:

I started running in 2008 while I was a stay-at-home-mom. I discovered this blog in July 2010 and followed the advice from the blog to gradually improve my distance/speed. I achieved various PR's in 2010/2011. I went back to work part-time in 2012-2015 and switched to mostly running trail runs. When I got prego with my third child in 2016, I stopped running and started work full-time. After a 7 year hiatus, I returned to running in 2022. I have alot of work to do to get back in shape, but looking forward to the challenge!

Ran to the corner to meet Tim and Ashley. Tim went to a bachelor's party last night so I was very impressed that he was wanting to run at 4:45 am. Who has a bachelor's party on a Wednesday night anyways?

So last night I went to the awards "ceremony" for the Fire & Ice racing series. I actually ended up with second place. I thought I was first. It turns out that they calculated the points differently than I thought. There were four races but the points only counted for your best three races. Calculated that way I was second. If it was best total points, I won. Oh well. I still got a really neat Adidas wind jacket. It's BRIGHT yellow and it has stripes that glow in the dark. I wore it this morning. Ashley and Tim said they could see me coming from far away today!

Sorry about the bump to second...but still congradulations! Good new running picture, where was it taken? I've been trying to get an actual "running" picture of me but I look goofy in all the ones taken at the races. Either I look really old, really slow or really tired or really poor running form. I guess I need to have someone snap one at the very first part of a race :-)

This was from the Fort Worth Zoo Run 10k which was in April. I just now saw the pictures on the website the other day for the first time and I was surprised that there were some good ones in there. Usually, all my race pictures are pretty bad! The funniest picture I've ever gotten though is me running in to the finish of a marathon and I'm making this mean face of determination while I'm passing this smiling happy 70 year old man who was pleasantly jogging to finish the half. If you didn't know he was running the half and I was running the full, then it looked in the picture like I was struggling to pass him! Classic. Maybe I should make that picture my profile pic next.
