Over 500 miles this year today!!! Actually, it is more than that, but I just started with RA entries at the end of August! Hopefully next year's mileage will quadruple!!!

So bittersweet,
This tragedy
Won't ask for absolution;
This melody,
Inside of me,
Still searches for solution.
A twist of faith,
A change of heart
Cures my infatuation.
A broken heart,
Provides the spark
For my determination.

My victory is that I said no to that very tempting cheesecake that I was offered (which I love)and went out for an 8 miles run instead. Small victory...but a victory nonetheless.

I met my impossible goal from the beginning of the year last night in a local 5K race. I broke 30 minutes, for a new PB of 29:45. My last 5K race in late September was 32:33, so it was a huge PB.

One day I decided I wanted to become a runner, so I did.

Awesome! If I remember correctly you are coming back after injury.

I feel your pain. I started back running the end of June this year after a long recovery from a femoral stress fracture.

Hit over 700 miles for the year today! I'm hoping to stay injury free for all of 2010 and at least doubling that mileage.

Small victory depends on how much cake you would have eaten.

6.8 in the cold rain & wind put me over 1500 and most miles in a year. Yay.
