A review of this years races

I wish I would have started to blog on my races earlier this year, but I didn't really think about it until now. I think it will be cool to look back and see the differences and reflect on certain races just by scrolling through all my posts. I guess for now I will do a quick recap of the events I have completed. 

Santee Lakes 5k Run - September 2010

I had just started my running journey not long before this race. I think I had been running for maybe 2 months. When I started I could not even run a half a mile so this was a big accomplishment for me since my last 5k was back in 2000. Out of nowhere I gave myself a challenge to complete a half marathon with my mom. I gave myself plenty of time to get in shape and train. Although with the two kids it proved easier said than done... 

So this was my first race. 

  3.1 miles 30:06 (9:41 pace) I finished 5th in my age group.

I think for a first race it was okay, for someone just starting out. I was completely winded, wanted to die but I didnt stop and that was my goal for the race.
