As the new year begins, I can’t help but think about last year and all the incredible things that we did. I started off the year 60 pounds heavier than I am now, running occasionally and not having distinct goals set. Shortly after starting the year, I decided I was going to run the Walt Disney World Marathon, which had been a goal of mine for years. That meant starting to run more than I was. In March, I signed up for the marathon, which got me off my butt to start training.
In 2011, I ran my first half and full marathons. I got a PR in a 5K and in a 10K, and obviously because they were my firsts, I PR’ed in the half and full too. I am happy with all of my times except my marathon time, which I will be working on in the new year. I also did a Tough Mudder event this past year, which was a great time and I am signed up for another one in 2012.
My goals for 2012 include improving my marathon time. I plan on starting to compete in triathlons. I would also like to lose a little more weight this year, but I am pretty happy with my weight now, although I am still a Clydesdale for races with that category. Looking past 2012, I do have some bucket list events that I want to complete and I’m sure that list of events will get longer.
