Running Record

I think the next book I download onto my Nook will be "Blogging for Dummies," seeing how I don't know how to do much except type words and add pictures. Maybe one day I'll figure out how to add tabs to the top of my blog. I'm stubborn and like to figure things out on my own, so we'll see how long it takes. I want to use them to link races, but since I'm stupid and don't know how, I'm posting them here :).

A little background info: I started running (using the Couch to 5k program) in May of 2011; ran my first race while training for my first 1/2 in October. By the time 2012 rolled around I was hooked on racing! You can read more about how I started running in my blog post, How I Became a Runner.

2013:

I typically write out my race schedule month by month, or base it off of what Chris runs. The following is just a start for the year. Will probably run a 5k at the end of January to test my speed.


*Cedars Frostbite Half 2/9/13 - This will be a warm- up race.

*The Tom King Half 3/9/13 - This one is big for me. Will be my first Half without my husband pacing me (other than Cedars.) Looking for a big PR!

*Special Kid's Race 5k 3/23/13 - This was one of my favorite races last year, and I'm excited to run it again!



More to come later! In case you didn't notice, I love 5k's. Short and fast is how I like most of my races :). I'm starting to branch out and run longer distances, though - especially since 10 miles is becoming somewhat "easy." I really do want to run one race a month, but I am more focused on mileage, increasing my speed, and staying injury free :).


Here's to a great 2013!
