Two years ago today, I wrote my first blog post (https://myfirst5k.wordpress.com/2008/03/25/no-boundaries/) and decided to start running. There have been ups and downs but mostly ups.
- My posts are more creative and informative (even include pics)
- My Blogroll has grown tremendously.
- I even have a few people reading my blog now.
- I enter giveaways and have even won 4.
- I joined a gym and run on the treadmill during the colder months.
- I have run 32 5k races.
- I track my running on Dailymile.com
- I use Nike+ on my ipod nano to track how far I’ve run (& the calories I’ve burned)
- I’ve increased my distance (even ran/walked 10k)
- I decreased my 5k srace time from 37:36 to 29:30
- I ran a race when it was 9 degrees outside
- I got profiled on the Freihofer’s Run for Women blog
- I now own running outfits
- I subscribe to Runner’s World magazine
- I even run during vacations.
- I plan social activities around running (ie “Sorry, I can’t meet til 6:30, I have to get a run in first” or “I can’t have a glass of wine, I have a race tomorrow“)
- I’m not as excited about tennis as I used to be (and don’t play as often)
- I gave up learning to play golf (wasn’t that good anyway)
- I haven’t run a race longer than 3.5 miles yet.
- I still don’t train well (walk when I get tired although during a race I don’t).
- I wonder how long my old knees will hold up.
- I have been unsuccessful in motivating my hubby or my tennis friends to run.
Happy Anniversary!! You have many more ups than downs.
