A Year of Accomplishments!!!!!!!

WOW!!! I'm sitting here finishing up my blog on the WR Relay just thinking about everything that has changed for me this year in my walking/running world. I think I am going to "gratitude list" style list them:

1. I have a walking/running world
2. I completed a major timed event every month since June
3. I completed my first 10K, first 15K, first Half marathon (13.1 miles), first Relay and White Rock event, first 5 mile event, and first 8 mile Turkey Trot.
4. I generally walk/run about 4 at a minimum to 16 times a month (that is 4 more times a month than I was the year before).
5. I achieved PRs in my 5K every time I attempted it.
6. I'm on a Lucky 13 Race team. (Didn't even know anyone in the running community before)
7. I have random running/racing facebook friends all over the metroplex.
8. I joined a Running Club (the Dallas Running Club)...I didn't even know they existed before last year.
9. I started off walking, and am now at a run/walk pace.
10. I've inspired others to get active.
11. I've kept up with my blog about this process.
12. I've enjoyed the details about the journey.
13. I have a long list of events I can do next year to see if I can beat my time.
14. I have improved my pace on most events (other than the Hills along the Tour de Fleur).
15. I've been a healthy example for my daughter.

OK...more to add later, but I wanted to start a list before the year is up...

Next up...a list of goals.
