2010 was a blur… lots of good and bad but mostly good.
- I began running… I mean seriously running. This was due to me signing up with The Leukemia & Lymphoma's Team in Training program.
- I caved in and started this blog so that everyone that cares, can follow me on this journey.
- The company I work for made the decision to lay-off some employees; we lost a lot of great friends and co-workers. I remain thankful that I still have my job, a roof over my head, a car to drive and food to sustain my family.
- I ran a 5k for my pace assessment at the beginning of November and then another two in a span of 2 weeks at the end of November.
- Logged in weekly running, x-training and hill training. Thanks to the cardio trainer application on my android phone, I logged in a total of 46.1 miles since November 1st and so far in 2011 I have 12.1 miles logged.
- I made a decision to get my California Adjuster's License and have started studying.
- I spent money… blah blah blah :)
- Yeah… lots of stuff. There's a lot more to mention, but I won't ;)
I’m not usually one for resolutions though…since they usually fall through within the first couple of weeks. Although I would not call this a resolution, I have signed up for my first EVER 1/2 marathon on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 6th. I also plan on signing up for the LA Marathon on March 20th. Team in Training is a wonderful way to get the training, moral support and encouragement all while fundraising to help save the lives of blood cancer patients.
