So I haven't posted in ages. I started this blog when I THOUGHT I would start my training for a marathon. Well that marathon hasn't come yet! But it's ok, after 3 Half Marathons, tons of injuries, tons of obstacles and triumphs I'll complete a full marathon one day.
There has been a lot going on in my life. I lost my great grandmother almost a year ago on my way to run in the Oakland Half Marathon. I ran 10 miles prior to making the trip to NorCal and visited my ggrandma that week telling her I would be back on Monday. Well the call came Friday, about 2 hrs from San Francisco - I jumped on a plane back to SoCal to be with my family. That run never happened and it took me a while to get back into running. I eventually signed up for the Disneyland Half in September. I ran every day it felt - I trained hard and tried to put everything in the past. I accomplished my dream...well not quite but I finished! I finished in just over 2 hrs...damn 1.50 seconds...WTF!
But my passion to run was BACK! Thru injuries & all - I completed the HB Half Marathon in 2011 with only 10 days of training. The dr's in December told me I would be out of commission for 2-3 months...HAHAHA me rest? Yah right! I finished in 2hrs & 15 minutes...not bad for training in 10 days! =) I also hit a milestone in 2010 - I ran 500 miles. The first time in my life!
Some how I found the strength to continue from all the mishaps, injuries, disappointments and all - I'M BACK baby! =)
