First run starting off my new years resolution! It was atrocious, as you can see from my log. But it'll make the end result all the more pleasing when I look back to where I was. Plus it was 15 degrees out and snowy roads.

2009 Goals: Run 5x a week, Iron Horse Half-Marathon on a 6-month C2HM Program that completely made up and is probably unhealthy.

0.9 Mi 9:39:30 10:23:08 / Mi You did 0.9 miles in a little under ten hours? The only way is up, I guess Wink

Me ... I did 4.8 Mi in 44:40, with temps of 33F but a beautiful sunny afternoon.

The process is the goal.

I got a 5 miler in this afternoon. The weather was a nice change from the teens and twenties temps we've been having. It was sunny and 66 with a slight breeze. Lots of people out today.

Got in a nice seven miler. Was aiming for six miles, but I felt good enough at the end to tack on another mile.

4.5 miles this morning- a chilly 10 degrees in the "mountains" of PA where I was visiting relatives in the Poconos. I got out there and did it! Sunny and pretty with snow on the ground but clear roads.

Out there running since dinosaurs roamed the earth

6 miles. I had originally planned to do a 6 mile race, but my body (namely throat and lungs) had other ideas. So I did an easy 6, instead.

I did a very pleasant 1.7 at 12:15 am and wanted to keep going but I had told dh I would only be out 15 minutes or so. Had a sopping driving cold rain 9 miler at 9 am. Turns out my rain jacket has zero rain resistance.

Oops! haha. Fixed it!, I think! My stopwatch just had the miliseconds so I added those.

I am pleased to report that the 2nd run was much better in both distance and pace. =D

I ran a new year's day 5K for a PR time and dragged along a friend for whom it was her first race (she just finished the C25K). I feel like I should get a toaster oven or something. And my kids (5 & 8) were so impressed by all the kids in the race, they've now committed to running a Valentie's Day 5K with me. The whole family went to the track together this morning. I accompanied my husband on his first 2 mile run, and the kids just ran (and ran, and ran). And auspicious running start to the new year ...

I ran a 5K in downtown Knoxville. I beat my stretch goal time of 26:00 with a 25:40. Cool

I was pretty pumped. Mike
