First race of 2008
5k in 23:50! Whoo-hoo! Not too impressive for a competitive runner, but I'm really happy with my result with just a few weeks of training and still almost 10 pounds heavier than I was last Summer... I have a 10k race planned for next weekend... whoohoo! more fun ahead!

2007 Summary
Well, it's now 2008. I've started training again, now that I'm recovered from last years injury. Here is a summary of last year's results:
My first run: 3/21/07 - just 18 short weeks before the SF Marathon!
My first race: 4/15/07 - 10k (6.2mi.) in 51:29!
My first Half-Marathon: 5/6/07 - 13.1mi. in 1:56:42 (with just 7 weeks of training)
Best track workout: 7/4/07 - 3mi. tempo run at 23:39, then 3x800m. at 3:42, 3:40, 3:37 (400m rest between each)
Longest run: 7/6/07 - 20.5 mi - I could have run a Marathon this day. As it turns out a strained my achilles tenden and that was the end of my first attempt at competing in the SF Marathon
Total miles run: over 350 total miles in 17 weeks...
Oh, and I collected donations for the American Diabetes Association as part of "Team Diabetes". Together, we collected over $5000.00! Thanks to all of you that made a contribution!
