Furthermore, I am a biker. I may not go a gazillion miles. I may not be able to hit all the hills full speed ahead. But I'm out there. I was able to ride 20 some miles...on the roads and on some hills. That makes me a biker.
I hope to better myself in both of those pursuits this upcoming year In that vein, I was outside today running! WEEEEE It was in the mid 20's and it felt GREAT! I wasn't fast....I didn't expect to be, afterall I haven't been religious about my running.
HOWEVER, that is going to change. I have a few 5k's that I'm interested in. The first one is in March. I want to start improving my stats! I want to set personal records this year! That means, I need to RUN!
How fitting that this blog is about running....because.... One year ago today I started running. I started the couch to 5 k program for the third and what I vowed would be my final time. I vowed that I would push through the hurt and come out victorious! I did. I may not have been religious about running in the last months for various reasons....but I was able to run 2.5 miles today without stopping. If I go back to last year I struggled with the 90 seconds of running! Wow....I've come a long way!
So happy runniversary to me!

Another blogger I follow posted a similar idea today -

On that one too, I commented that I have a hard time saying I'm a "runner" or a "cyclist" for that matter (although I do both, but only stationary bike!) It's a mental thing with me ... I guess I don't feel like I compare to those I DO consider runners/cyclists.
I'm a "wogger" (walk/jog) *Ü*
That is awesome! I am glad you celebrate those special moments. I like that you are always pushing yourself farther and harder!!!
I'm a runner and I'm slow and I don't give a sh*t. I run for me and nobody else.
But I do need to improve my running and I've already signed up for a 15K half March so I have to keep on running now :)
Enjoy your training.
Youre doing an amazing job!!!
