My Goal for This Year

[Natasha]

I decided today that my goal for this year is going to be to participate in a 5K every month. I've got the one for January under my belt and I'm sending off my registration for my February 5K tomorrow. I've already picked out my March 5K and I've got eyes on one for April as well.

My eventual goal is to hopefully be able to participate in a half-marathon in December to cap off the year. If things go as planned by the end of the year I will have walked/run almost 50 miles just by participating in runs.

Soooooooooooooo...go me!!! LOL

That's great setting goals can really do wonders for you.

I used to run but hurt my knee although I'm planning to start again this summer.

Finished my February 5K this morning at a time of 51:42. That's a 4 minutes, 38 seconds improvement over my last time. Woot woot!!!

 

[porterjack]

great job:thumbup

 

[sexysadie]

You go girl!!!

 

[Guyzerr]

5k doesn't sound like much but it's a lot if you are not used to doing it. Before long Natty you'll be doing 10k's and feeling great. Keep up the good work. :clap

Marck 5K done!!! It was my mom's first 5K and I slowed down to walk it w/ her. She told me I could leave her behind, but I thought it was more important to finish w/ my mom. We finished at 54 minutes and 56 seconds. Mom took 2nd place in her age group!!!

 

[Natasha]

April 5K done!!! We were 13 minutes late starting the race b/c I got stopped (and ticketed) for speeding. Even so, the turnout was so small due to predicted severe weather which never materialized, and I placed 3rd in my age group. I set a personal record w/ a time of 49 minutes and some odd seconds (unknown EXACT time b/c of the late start) even though my OFFICIAL race time shows 63 minutes and 26 seconds. Yay for placing!!! Oh, and mom placed 2nd in her age group.

 

[Veronica]

yay! good job!
