How I did it
How to run a 5k
It took me
3 months
It made me
Feel awesome!

How I did it: I've been running 5k races for a few years and I absolutely love it. To prepare for my first race I just stuck to running as much as I could in 30 minutes, then eventually I changed my goal to running continuously for that amount of time. After awhile, I just made sure I was able to run 3 miles every other day until the day of the race. Read how I did it…

Read 75 books this year
Untitled 8 months ago

I’ve actually started this and am doing a pretty great job. I’ve been tracking my books at goodreads.com…and as of today I have read 25 books. This is definitely the most I’ve read in a 2-3 month span and I must admit I enjoy it immensely. It works for me because I commute about an hour to work so I have plenty of reading time.

run 10 miles
Running, running...as fast I can... 8 months ago

okay, not the fastest I can, but just as long as I finish my 10 miles, I’ll be happy! I haven’t ran more than 5 so this is definitely a challenge. I’ve been training and have signed up for a race in May. The hubz has even bought me a pair of real running shoes. I’m all set! Can’t wait!
