25th Race and counting
This weekend I will run my 25th race. I'm not one to run a race every weekend or every month. When I started running back March 2007, I didn't think about doing races, I just wanted to run to lose weight and get in shape. I lost about 40 pounds and it hasn't been back. :)
I thought that I might run a 5K or even a 10K at some point. Man, a 10K back then seemed so far and hard. Now, I sometimes I run a 10K(6.2 miles) before work. Since then I ran 4 marathons, 2 halves, a bunch of 5 and 10K's. My home office wall has medals and ribbons from races, and bibs from all the races I've done.
My mind set is so different from the way it was back then, nothing seems impossible.
I set goals to keep me motivated, like last year I set a goal of running 10 miles or more for 2 weeks and the year before I had a goals of running for 30 days straight. All accomplished. Right now, I have a goal of doing some kind of activity of 3 miles or more for 100 days in a row, today was day 87. 13 days to go.
I have goal of doing my first triathlon next year! Plus, I still have goals of running a marathon faster, and hopes of placing 1st in my age group would be awesome too!
My Road ID badge has a quote on it that says "Keep On Running" and I plan to for as long as I can.
