What a Difference a Year Makes

First, happy holidays everyone!  

I was reflecting today, as people often do on this day, and I realized last Christmas I weighed 250 lbs, and was just starting to exercise, by walking 2-3 miles at a 18 min pace.  Well I got a Garmin Forerunner 210 today, took it for a test drive, did a 5k at a 10:04 pace!  I now weigh 135, work with horses again and all around my life is so much different than last year.  I love my family that has been so supportive of all the changes in the last year.  And I LOVE my new body, extra skin and all.

Happy Holidays to you too!!  

It is pretty amazing what a year can do.  Last year I was thrilled to be in the 200's and now I am about 10-15 lbs from goal.  I have run 2 HM's and have another planned for Feb.   I almost can't wait to see what this time next year brings!!

Yeah on almost goal and the HM.  I plan to do one this spring.  I did the Army 10 miler and I feel like bumping up to a 1/2 shouldn't be too hard.  Hoping to do a full marathon this year as well.

Yep... I was at 240lbs last year, and was excited about my 57:07 5k.    Now I am at 170 and bound and determined to beat my current PR of 33:33.   I've done 2 Sprint Tris, 2 10ks, training for a major 15k here locally (Double Bridge Run Pensacola -y'all should come!!!) and this Friday I am registering for a half marathon!

 I, too, have horses again and spent yesterday having a jump rope contest with my 17yr old nephew (he smoked me).  Good times!!

That's awesome!  I know you'll beat that 33:33 in no time.  Let us know when you do.
