Running Accomplishments:

I started running when I moved to Oregon in 2008.  When I first started, I couldn't even run to the end of my block!  I made it my goal to just run a little bit further each time.  Not too much time went by before I realized how much I loved the sport of running.  I signed up for my first 5k in April 2009. I have loved watching my speed and distance increase as the years have gone by.

9:28 pace.  Tough run for me.  Stopped 4x, about every mile to walk for 1 minute.  Not sure what was going on.  Either way, a good start to the week.

S L O W run today.  Just couldn't talk my body into going faster.  Guess this means I'll be due for a wicked fast run this weekend.  ;-)

On a super happy note:  I registered for The Runaway Pumpkin 1/2 marathon to be ran in October.  Yippee!!!  Training starts Aug 5.
