goals n races

Updates in purple as of Feb. 2016 - Goals originally created in 2011. 

To run another marathon  - namely, the ING NYC marathon. DONE 

Complete an Olympic (maybe even a 70.3 distance someday) triathlon! DONE (the Olympic) 

To run faster and remain injury free. Eh. not faster but have remained mostly injury free (knock on wood!)

To maintain my 100 pound weight loss. Have kept most of it off - at least 80 pounds at any given time - always working at it! :) 

To inspire, encourage, support and be a friend to others who are looking to start their own weight loss, running or life-changing journey. I hope this has been the case :)

Thanks for your inspiration! I signed up for a half-marathon to get myself off the couch, too. I completed my first (and only) 5K last month and was elated. I DNFed a 5K today and felt like a failure until I stumbled upon your blog. Thanks, and tomorrow, I'll get off the couch again. It's those little victories, eh?

Randomly came across your blog because I was googling " worst run ever" which I just had. So inspiring to see your journey here and as a matter of fact... we both ran the san diego marathon last year. It was my first and I finished at the same time you did 6:19! so cool. Thanks for sharing your story.
