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 Running & Happy Blogging!
