Goal reached

Well, It is a far cry from a year ago.....

After surgery in July, I set 2 goals. One was three miles by my birthday and the other was a ten miler by Christmas.

I held out long enough but this morning I finished them off. With a couple things against me; temps around 16 and 40mph wind gusts (yeah I know negative wind chill) and a cancellation from my running partner, I headed out about 9:40am.

We recently got dumped on with snow so there were some serious drifts and one of the roads on my route was not plowed. It was fun to navigate but totally worth it.

I dressed well for the weather and was pretty much warm enough for the entire run. I will do some stretching and exercises tonight. Hopefully this is a good sign that I can start run training soon. I'd like to be up to about 15 miles in a month and 20 by March. All I can do is take it one day at a time.

Thanks for the encouragement Jayne and for pushing me to go out and stay with this goal.

Happy Holidays!
