My 5k-iversary
A little over a year ago I started posting on this board about my aspirations to run a 5k and even a half marathon eventually. Some nutjob named Dan, and some of his nutty cohorts around here... Scott, Bill, Cassie, Jet, Kathy, KernieC, Rob et al convinced me to go ahead and give a local 5k a chance, even though I had not run that far and was scared as heck! My results back then: http://www.coolrunning.com/results/10/ny/Jan24_2010HE_2_set1 .shtml 32.53!
Today I ran that same 5k, one year after! It was freaking cold! -4F when I woke up! Not even close to a PR, but still 7 minutes lower than my time last year: 25:36.. Its going to be fun running some of the same races from last year and see how much I improved!

Thanks to all of you for the encouragement and motivation!

Peer pressure is such a wonderful thing!
Now, here you are an official nutjob in pursuit of your first Ironman! What a year it's been for you.

Well I know include you in the group of nutjobs who inspire people to push themselves beyond their comfort zone and accomplish what they never thought they could.
