In September 2012, I started my running journey with the Southfield Running Group. With Bob Coyne leading, a group of us completed the Couch to 5K program. It was toward the end of this program that I injured my ankle and thus started this blog.
Today I completed my third race and set a new PR for the third time. Now, I do realize that at some point I will plateau with my times and make smaller and less frequent speed gains. So, today I officially switch my focus from speed gains to distance gains.
Just a week ago, I ran 8k with my running partner Daisy. That was exciting and for the first time ever, I have started to consider running a half marathon and maybe someday a full marathon.
Wow, I can't believe I just put that in writing.
So, the journey continues as I move into training for longer distances. I plan on completing the Joliet Run 3 in 2014 before moving onto longer distances. Be sure to stay tuned for the next chapter in this journey.
Here's to meeting goals. Setting new ones. And never giving up.
