Resolution 2011!

Well my resolutions are fairly straight forward:

1. Actually update this blog.

2. 13.1- 13 half-marathons and 1 marathon in 2011.

I've already got January, February and March down. In January I'll be running the Manhattan Half Marathon. February is the Austin Half with JC. March is Sun Trust National half marathon with TK, or what will be known from now on and my version of the princess half marathon. I might try and double up on a half in one of those months. The full marathon this year is the ING New York City Marathon!!! I'm finally in!

Reflections on the last half of the 2010 running year. I had a really good Seattle Marathon experience. I lucked out with great weather -- no rain, but it was a bit chilly. I stuck with the 4:45 pace group until about mile 19 and then when we hit the hills again, I went slower. My times with 4:5835, with a net time of (drum roll please) 4:57:06. So, at least I know I can finish a marathon in under 5 hours. I'm hoping for sub 4:30 at NYC. Cousin Sharon actually qualified for Boston on this same run!

Here's to a great 2011 running year!
