Another Passion
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! It would be hard to have a year with as many changes as 2007 had (in addition to weight loss, I completed a 10k, several 5ks, and a half marathon, and I hit my goal of a sub-30 5k). Here are my 2008 goals so far: *Run a marathon -- no time goal, just finish. *Run two half marathons (April 5 and August 31) -- no time goal for these yet. *Run a 10k under 1 hour. *Run a 5k under 25 minutes. *Lose approximately 15 more pounds.

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

My 08 goals are to complete the Philly trifecta - Broad Street (10 miles), Distance Run (HM), and Philly Marathon. Of course this would require for me to get off my ash and run.
