2011 in perspective

2011 was both a good year and a not so good year. My husband was unemployed until November and we had to rely solely on my pay check. It was tight, but we made it.

I struggled greatly with my weight in 2011 gaining more then 10 pounds during the year. That has been very frustrating and discouraging. I have challenged myself and my sister and brother to get skinny this year. I would really like to finally reach goal weight!

The best part of the year was running a half marathon. When 2011 started it was my goal to just run 5 10Ks, but I got ambitious and decided to start training for a half. I met my goal of 5 10K's and also ran the SOJO Half Marathon. It was the hardest thing I have ever done - but also one of my proudest moments.

Running has become my passion. Being a part of the C25K Graduates Spark Team has been an awesome inspiration to me to keep me out there running and working towards my goals.

Bring on 2012 and a full marathon. This years goals: reach goal weight and run the Deseret News Marathon!
