Racing past 2012
I know I have been neglecting my blog and I know I promised to do better in 2012, but this time I mean it! So as far as running and fitness went, I did pretty well this past year. One of my biggest goals was to do a 5K race every month in 2012. I may not have done one every month but I more than made up for it by doing more than one race in other months. The first 5K race I did was in January 2012, the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure. My goal for this race was to take it easy since I was running a Half marathon the next day. But of course once I got out there my competitive spirit took control and I ended up running a personal best in that race. I went from a 34:33 from my first race to a 31:43. Shave almost 3 minutes off my first 5K time. I was ecstatic. After that I sent a goal to run a 5K race every month in 2012. For the most part I did it. There were some months where I didn't run a 5K but made it up in the following month when I ran two in one month. BG
