A Time to look back...A time to look forward

I have not written anything in a very long time. I am still running inconsistently, and I still eat horribly but I am still working at it! I look at my wall of accomplishments from this year and am so proud! I ran 12 races ( 7-5K, 1-5 miler, 1- 8K, 2-10K and the Chicago Marathon) so I am so happy of how far I came. My goals were to run all 3 of the Joliet races (10, 5 and 8 K) which I did and my other goal was to run the Chicago half Marathon. Well I did not do that but instead I ran the full Marathon! Yep in 5 hours 10 min and 16 sec.! I was so proud! I ran it under a different name so now I KNOW that I will be doing it again this year under MY NAME!!! So I feel like I met my goals from last year :)SO now I am thinking of new goals. My new goals for 2013 will be this! South Bend Marathon for my husband who is the biggest ND fan EVER, Chicago Marathon, all 3 Joliet races with my youngest son Brennan and PR all of my times, and finally run 500-1000 miles this year! I want to push my self to be better! I love my new running buddy! It makes me so proud that he has started this journey with me and loves it! I am so happy that I found a run group that is so awesome! If not for them I would never have done the BOA Marathon! Thanks! I am so lucky to have my husband and kids to support, cheer and love me in this journey! Friends that support and cheer me on! 2013 is going to be the year I can feel it!!!
