happy to run

I didn’t run as many races as I wanted to this year, due to the wedding and honeymoon planning. But I’m proud to say I shave off about 2:30 minutes from my first 5k in 2009.
2012: Boulder Marathon 5 Mile, BolderBoulder 10k, Turkey Trot 5k

On top of Green Mountain, my 5 Mile race in early spring and Jack and I at the BolderBoulder.

While I didn’t run many races, I did a lot of hiking with Jack. Some were pretty tough, which left me sore for days but it was worth it! I also took up a weekly spin class at my local gym. It’s a great way to sweat first thing in the morning and push yourself to the max.

In 2013 I plan on running twice as many races, including my first half marathon, and getting some PR’s under my belt. I’ll keep you posted!

Well it’s been forever since my last post! Life has been busy lately, here’s an update:
