Four Years of Run!

Today marks 4 years since I started this running journey.  FOUR YEARS!!!!

Happy Runnerversary to me!

Everyday, I can still hardly believe I started, let alone that I kept going.

• Over 500 runs logged on pavement, trail, track and treadmill; rain, shine, snow, ice, hill, mud, dirt, mountain, hypothermia, country, city
• 58 races run
• 2 Full marathons (and now training for a third)
• 13 half marathons
• 2 relays
• 1 Goofy
• Over $13000 raised for the fight against blood cancer
• Too many 5, 10 & 15k races to count
• So many runner girls running by my side - thank you all for your support!  I am proud to be friends with such incredible women - both near and far!
• 3500 kms
• 16 pairs of running shoes
• Races run in 12 different cities/towns in 2 provinces and 2 states (doesn't seem like much for how much I feel like I've travelled)
• Steps run in 3 different countries (Canada, US, Mexico)
• Pounds and pounds of Gu ingested
• Litres and litres of electrolyte mix drunken
• Hours and hours spent at the chiropractor to keep me on my feet
• Two drawers bursting at the seams with runwear
• One treadmill purchased
• Two garmins, one ipod, one fitbit
• 32:04 to 27:35 in a 5k
• 1:10:44 to 59:38 in a 10k

but most importantly

• one healthy me who exercises consistently and loves almost every minute.  Yep - that's the most important thing of all.
