Goals!!

       I have been on a journey for the past few years to become a runner. Have I been great at it? Not at all!! I go through spurts of running every day and craving running then I get burnt out and don't run for months at a time. Don't know why I do that to myself. Then I have to start over getting back to a descent pace and building up my endurance.
       Last year I found a group of amazing ladies that are all about being healthy and many use running as one of their many work outs. They are some of the most encouraging women I have ever meet. Well, I have not really meet them. It is a online group of women. Many are mothers,some are young ladies working on getting their degrees and many are both just like me. Never thought I could build a friendship with women that I have never meet and find them so encouraging.
       After spending many months getting to know this group of women and the new year starting someone mentioned a challenge. So here I am Feb 9th and trying to get my running shoes running again after taking a few months off. Well, kinda I have ran here and there but not like I need to be to train for anything. So after finishing my first 5k last year I feel in love with the thought of the races. The challenge set before this group of ladies was 13 5k's in 2013. Sounds crazy to some but I figured when I trained for my 5k last year I was running a 5k four times a week. So why not. I could handle 13 5k races in a year. Right?

Everyone after my first 5k in 2012. Set a personal best time!!

So I am putting this out there for all my family and friends to hear and keep me accountable. When you see me ask me how my training is going, ask how many 5k's I signed up for and sometimes if I need tell me to get my butt in gear. I promise it wont upset me, I will need it.

I would love to have some of my friends and family join me in some of my races!!
