I ran a 10K on Sunday and I beat a person who registered under the name of "Yoda Jedimaster."

You should have won. He has very short legs!

On Sunday, I was able to compete in my second race (a 9.5K) after a year and half of injuries since my first one (10K). My results were about the same for both, so I may not have gotten any better, but I haven't gotten any worse

last weekend, I placed second in my age group in a 10k. I was originally listed as 3rd, but the person before me disappeared from the results during the week and I became second. Gotta love small races! I finished in 52:36, which is scarcely a scorching pace. The woman who won our age group finished in 37 Tight lipped

x! Nonetheless, I placed in an offical race, and feel pretty gosh darn special.

i've barely been able to run due to a crazy schedule and wonky foot, but i did 3 miles with my daughter's GOTR group today and it was great!

2014 Goal -- Run 5X per week, pain-free (relatively) by end of summer.

Zoom will kill me, but I just now figured out what 'GOTR' stands for. Ah.
