2007 was just such an amazing year. I started changing my life in July of 2006 and I went from an obese 275-pound woman to a runner, 115 pounds lighter. I even became a cross country coach!

Congratulations! This is such an awesome accomplishment. Smile

My racing/mileage goals will depend on where work takes me next summer/fall, but for now: 1) Sub 25 5K (current PR 25:49) 2) Sub 55 10K (current PR 55:51) 3) Sub 2 hr half (current PR 2:03:15) 4) Run over 1300 miles (just barely going to make 1000 this year) 5) Get down to 143 lbs (currently 152) 6) Learn to cook and eat healthier (currently not so much Tongue

) Oh yeah and run my 1st marathon (goal to finish) in January. I keep forgetting this is an '08 goal since the bulk of the training has been this year.

Mine are to finish my 1,001 Miles fundraiser (http://www.1001miles.com) by the end of September, 2008 (365 days after I started) and then to take a couple of weeks off before, who knows, maybe start another fundraiser. If there is anyone who has a 1,000 mile/year goal for 2008 already who would like a bit of extra motivation and would like to do it for a children's cancer charity in their area, I would be happy to provide them with a website and assistance in managing it (free of charge, of course). This fundraiser has been such an amazing experience already (and I am only 200 miles into it); I can not recommend it enough. If interested, check out the "My 1,001 Miles" page on my fundraiser website: http://www.1001miles.com

sub 39 10K sub 18 5K 2000 miles Enter more races Get a driving license which will permit me to do more races.

"I've been following Eddy's improvement over the last two years on this site, and it's been pretty dang solid. Sure the weekly mileage has been up and down, but over the long haul he's getting out the door and has turned himself into quite a runner. He's only now just figuring out his potential. Consistency in running is measured in years, not weeks. And over the last couple of years, Eddy's made great strides" Jeff 14 Jan 2009

Hello everyone, my name is flower, and I live in venezuela, believe it or not , I have 34 years. I have 6 months running, and I have already 2 races of 10 k. When they started to run, I thought it was too late and old to do this, but I believe that age is a state of mind. And the more I run I feel better, now I´m addicted to running, how bad is that come with running injuries, but we must overcome the obstacles, my goal for 2008 is improve my time in 10 k and to be able to do half marathon I hope to recover from an injury in my leg to be able to make the race. Big grin

I hope to have your support in this site and I wish you all achieve their goals, good luck to all, and GO Wink

I don´r suffer from insanity, I enjoy every single moment. L.L
