Running has its challenges. But I love it. And I love how it brings out the tougher side of me. The side that wants to win. Not for the glory, but for the challenge. Several months ago, an injury threatened to stop me for good, but I wouldn't let go until I found a way back. 19 days of re-training later--on Easter Sunday 2012--I was back to running 5K. Join me as I progress from here, I'd love your feedback about your own experiences!
Goals
My Current Goals:
1. Finish a 5K Race at my personal best. ~Achieved!
2. Run the Jul 21st 5K Race at a 10-min mile pace or less.

4. Win 1st Place in my age division.

That's all, folks!
This "Road Runner" is retiring from running for good now. My body has decided for me that running-for-fitness, and I, don't mix well. I will cherish the time I did have to run.
My mission now will be to find suitable alternatives to running that will challenge me in the same way that running did.
I'm not sure what I will do now with this Blog. Change the name and make it a Fitness Blog? A Fitness and Nutrition Blog? Start an entirely new Blog? I'll let you know when I decide. In the meantime, farewell to all my fine-feathered friends, my fellow Road/Beach/Trail/Wherever Runners. Run your hearts out and make me proud as I cheer you on from the sidelines. :-)
