For any of you that have been reading my blog, I think you know that I have checked a few things off on my life list so I won't bore you with my long thoughts. But I will bore you with stats - haha
The weight thing - 100 lbs lost and maintaining.

Okay are you asleep yet? I nodded off a couple times typing this stuff in..
Of course this is only my running stuff and weightloss.
Running - In January I couldn't run 1/4 mile, but I can run a half marathon today. I had an injury due to my noob running(Feb/March) that put me out of commision for 6 weeks, but yet I managed over 700 miles for the year. I finished a strong December with 106 miles and running 26 out of 31 days. In relative terms I've got faster.
What I take from all of this is my change in my lifestyle. I went from a slug to an active lifestyle, a procrastinator to a doer, and somewhere along the line I turned into a runner. I can focus on the negative things that happened to me this past year, but I choose not to. I'm 38 years old, but I feel 28! I can kick my former 28 year old butt!!
Next post will be on my plans for 2009.
Thanks for encouraging me to do better when I didn't want to.
