Our Journey to 10,000 miles...... began with one lil 5K

Well, its official. We have a goal. (big surprise, eh??)









WE, yes, WE have decided to run 10,000 miles before our 50th anniversary!
That's 5,000 race miles each!!!!
We need to log about 117 race miles per year!!!

Prepping for 2011!!!!!!!!

While I sit here, a hefty 12 pounds heavier than the last time I posted....stupid winter weight gain.....(cuz, uhmmm, it can't be *my* fault) I realize how excited I am to run again...not just run, but to race...although, truth be told, I hardly RACE...I just compete to ge to the finish line faster than I did last time (which rarely happens)
Any ole how... I am planning our 2011 races, and due to my hubby's crap-tastic job, and the fact that the guy I babysit for got laid off AGAIN, we are in SERIOUS financial stress......worse than I can ever remember us being in :-(, but, we aren't willing to give up races completely....we are planning on doing 1 race per month, and enlisting the help of family for (free) babysitting services.....*hint, hint* family :-)

So, here's a toast:
to a great 2011
to PR's in both the 5K and the half (for me)
to healthy and injury-free running
to "winter-weight" weight LOSS
to a more 'prosperous' year for us all!!!!!!!
