I ran another race!

Hello everyone! Yesterday I ran my second 10K race (6.2 miles). It was raining and I got so wet! I noticed that almost all the runners that came out for this race were "die hard" runner types. I think all the normal people stayed home because of the heavy rains! So I felt a little scared that I would be last because I felt like I didn't quite fit in. But I wasn't last ... I finished in 1 hour, 7 minutes, and 1 second. I actually beat my last 10K time by almost 3 minutes! And I finished 95th out of 120 racers ... and every single person except for 1 that finished after me was YOUNGER than me! How funny is that?! That made me feel pretty good! Especially since they all looked like the stereo-typical runners with long skinny legs. Mine are short and not so skinny! Anyway, I'm still signing up for races once a month to keep myself motivated to keep working out. I'm aiming for a half marathon in April (13.1 miles). Deanna

Deanna I am so proud of you! You just keep on moitivating yourself and don't rest on your achievments, but keep on moving forwards. Remind us when your next race is coming up so we can cheer you on

Congratulations, Deanna. I am setting my goal to work up to running only one mile, but you are an inspiration!!! Cindy

you are just so amazing. I love your running spirit. I am taking self defense classes now. No more burning calories as I am trying to stay above 120. Keep it up girl. One day you may run all the way down here to So.Ca Carla
