Race Recaps

Running was something I always wanted to do – but never thought I could.  I tried running a few times in my life – bought running sneakers and everything – but never lasted more then a week or two.  A few months before my wedding (and also the year I turned 30), I decided I was going to run a 5k.  I used the Couch to 5K training program and loved every minute of it.  Better yet – I stuck with it. 

The first race I ran was in September 2008 (before I blogged) – the Susan Komen Race for the Cure in Boston. 

In 2009, I ran the race and beat my previous time by almost 7 minutes

Thanksgiving 2009, I ran my first 8k – and Turkey Trot in 46:30. 

In 2010, so far, I have run 2 half marathons.

January 2010 – Disney Half Marathon

For the Disney Half Marathon, I followed the half marathon training program from Cool Running

June 2010 – Worcester Half Marathon

For the Worcester Half Marathon, I followed a training program created by a friend – Mike

Here is the schedule I used

September 2010 – Susan Komen Race for the Cure 5k

October 2010 – Tufts 10k for Women

August 2011 – Providence Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon
