{New Years 5k}




Happy 2012

As most of you know, I was absent from the running world for about 5 weeks. LONGEST 5 WEEKS EVER!!! I can’t explain how much I missed my daily runs. Have you ever heard others talk about how running can change the course of one’s day and even their mood or how running is therapeutic, soothing, and sometimes even serene? Those are just a few of the feelings I missed! I missed waking up in the morning, lacing up my shoes, and venturing into the world around me. I missed that feeling that I got after each run where I was excited to face my day, eager to see what was in store for me. Running has given me an inner strength to tackle things head on, a confidence in knowing that I can handle my own.

A few months ago, I found this great blog. LOTS OF RUNNING INPIRATION going on!!!! The writer, Ms. K hosted a series of virtual 5k’s for the holiday season. You may remember my participation as Batman’s sidekick in the Halloween 5k back in October. I was so excited to be able to partake in these events. You all know the story by now and sadly, I had to rest my foot for awhile.


BUT...


I healed just in time for the final race of the series!!!

The New Years Virtual 5K


The extra perks (there are a few) 


I was able to RUN a full 5k!!!
My last run of 2011 was a 5k!!!
I was able to run this race with a few of my favorite people in the whole wide world!!


Best of all...


Although my legs are a little sore, 
I am feeling strong and ready to tackle running in 2012!!!
