Austin Half Marathon - February 20, 2011

It's getting closer everyday...I missed this race in 2010 due to a stress fracture in my hip. After healing from the fracture, training hard all summer...I made it to the San Antonio Rock & Roll Half last November. Now it's time for my favorite race, the Austin Marathon Half Marathon. I have 2 really long run weekends left and then I can taper to the finish.

My goal this year with my running is to run stronger and injury free. I actually put in 657 miles running in 2010. But overall, I never lost a pound from it! For some reason...all that activity never reduced my weight one pound! That was eye opening for me. I really feel I should be seeing weight reduction along the journey of running. At least that is why I started running.

I'm definitely stronger than I have ever been. I have lost 75 lbs. in 2 years...and have maintained my weight for the past 2 years. So if you have done the math...I have been working on my physical self for the past 4 years now. BUT, I have wanted to loose at least 20 more pounds to reach my goal weight. My goal is 20 pounds away. Only with God can I do this!
