For as long as I can remember, I told people "I can't run." But in March of 2009, I decided that this was no longer an option. From my first 5K to my second half marathon, I've endured my highest highs and lowest lows as an official Runner. This year I want to embrace running for something beyond times and distances.

Running is so much more than merely getting out there. I want to get out there and love it.

Because who doesn't love winning stuff?!

Via C.E.E.'s kickass blog, the following link is a kickass giveaway for the three runners that probably read my blog: WIN FREE CHAMPION GEAR HERE!

Meanwhile, yes, quite a boatload of snow happening here. Yesterday I rocked out inside to a dance dvd (I am literally the worst dancer ever...why don't I have coordination?!) and today I'm using my one rest day, so tomorrow hopefully the sidewalks will be a little more cleared out for my 3.5mi. Speaking of...I ran 3.5mi on Monday at 9:05 minute miles. I am seriously back to Runner Katie again and it's awesome motivation!!

And finally, I'm like a friggin stalker checking up on Maggie's Half Marathon Update, but nothing yet! Soooo curious ;)

Saturday's my 8K race and it's funny that I built Al's Run up in my head to be this giant crazy goal, which it was don't get me wrong, but now that I've got this new insane goal, running an 8K is less worrisome. I will NOT be running it in 42:41, however. No way!

    I was planning on doing the Steve Cullen run this weekend too but I have a nephew's birthday party that takes precedent. Best of luck!
