I became certified as a running coach and started my own training business. I was also fortunate enough to travel quite a bit for races, toeing the line in Bermuda, Florida, Maryland, Washington, D.C., Virginia, Indiana, Illinois and Washington. We went to Disney. Twice. J ran his first (and second) half marathon. Dizzle and Doodle each ran their first race, a mile and a half mile, respectively. Dizzle also started kindergarten and lost two teeth. Dilly learned to walk and talk. Simply put, 2010 didn't suck.
When the year started, I put in place a few goals to keep me motivated throughout the year. Here's how they turned out -
- run 1000 miles - accomplished on 8/14, as of this morning I sit at 1787.87 on the year.
- run a 2 hour half marathon - accomplished on 9/26 at the You Go Girl! Half where I was paced by Tall Mom to a 1:58:02
- run a sub-25 5K - accomplished first on 5/29 at the Autism 5K (24:09) and again last Sunday (22:55)
- run a sub 7:10 mile - accomplished, sort of. I never did the mile time trial I wanted to, but my last mile of Sunday's 5K was a 7:08. I'm counting that.
- eat less than 50 cupcakes - accomplished, as of today I have had 48 cupcakes this year. It scares me to think of how many calories that adds up to or how much cash I spent on them (they run $3.25 each).
Not too shabby, right? Now I just need to think of some goals to help make 2011 even better ...

Sounds like a pretty fantastic year to me!!! Congrats on all of your accomplishments... and to your girls, and J. Happy New Year!
Great year and I'm cracking up at the cupcakes!
Your mileage is nothing short of amazing!
Wow@! It sounds like you had a great year for your goals.
Although I am not particularly a fan of your cupcake goal. Sorry. :p
You should be SUPER proud!!
I am considering running YOU-GO-GIRL...would you recommend it?!!
And, i so jealous of your destination races! I will be picking your brain for marathon #2 for me!
Congrats.
I promise nothing when it comes to cupcakes
congratulations! that half marthon time is no joke.
and the impressive part is not that you ate less than 50 cupcakes, it is that you didn't lose count!
Way to go! Those were some lofty goals and to accomplish all of them is nothing short of amazing!!
That had better be one dang good cupcake for $3.25.
Your stats for 2010 are astounding. You rocked it, lady.
I love that you counted your cupcakes!
WOW, you rock!! Congrats on achieving all your goals, that's very impressive!!
Congrats on a STELLAR year! I'm not sure which is more impressive - your mileage or your cupcake consumption.
Winks & Smiles,
Wifey
Love the goals. I have a feeling my goals for next year will be fairly similar to your goals this year... Congrats on all the awesome accomplishments!
Awesome! Looks like you had a GREAT year!
Congratulations!! It's more than well deserved.
You'll have to figure out your goals for next year now!
GREAT job on 2010!!!
There's no question that you KILLED your goals last year!! You and the family had a fantastic 2010 and I am hoping for more of the same in 2011!!
