Thursday was a good training run on the treadmill. 
Mile 1: 7:18
Mile 2: 7:13
Mile 3: 7:08
Mile 4: 7:03

I moved the pace up 0:05 each mile on the treadmill. The last mile challenged my mind again to keep on going at that pace. 

I started running on 5/15/2013 and I hit 1000 miles today on 5/15/2014. Since I started exactly a year ago I've ran many 5 & 10k's. 2 half marathons and 1 marathon. Proud of how far I have come, excited for my challenges ahead. I have on my calendar this year to run at least 1 more half and hopefully 2 more marathons. My long term goal is a BQ but for this year will be very happy with a sub 130 half or a sub 330 full.


It's a great feeling to look at back at where  i started & where i am now.

Here is my 1st ever Nike+ run (my first time running since high school). I did not feel like a "runner" at all that day out on the gravel road. 
It is crazy to me to think that a year ago i struggled to go a mile without walking and I just ran 26.2 without walking at all. it reminds me of one of my favorite quotes. 

"Don't live the same year 75 times and call it a life"
