Running Accomplishments:

Biggest running accomplishment has been to simply start running and love it!  I've always been an athlete, but running was just one of those things done for conditioning because I was compelled to do it :).  My love for running (because I chose it) began in April of 2009 and I haven't stopped since!

Not really a Long Run day (but close...and it was enough)

12 miles on the Olympic Oval.  What a crazy place today!  Everyone escaping the snow and cold for their run.  Throw in a few high school track/cross country teams, Westiminster track team, and Elite running team and all the rest of us and it was almost as busy as the New Years Revolution Run!  Oh and they had regional qualifying races on the skating oval so half the running lanes were shut down at some points for the timers.  Of course there were a couple of zamboni crossings to wait for and a pause for the national anthem.  All in all it was fun though!  Fun to be with Scott, Kelli, Rachel, Rob and the zillion others there! 

Average pace with all those pauses included ended up at 8:20 mpm.  Take some of those out and it would have been under 8 :)

Happy Day!!
