Goodbye 2009!

This is our last post of 2009! I can't even believe it! We have done really well with our dedication to exercise, health, and blogging!

Well, in 2009 I lost 25 pounds. I went from not being able to do one single pushup to being able to do 40. I went from "running" a 13 or 14 minute mile to running a 10 minute mile. I ran in three 5k runs. I have three 2009 5k t-shirts....but only one favorite! Pretty big year for me in the health department I would say.

I'm sure happy to leave 2009 behind though. It's been a good, but difficult, year.

Well, today I ran even though I was sore! I had a really good one, too. I ran 3 miles in 28:30. I kept running until 33 minutes though. I also calibrated my iPod so I ran another half mile at 6.0 while doing that. So, solid run.

No other exercise today though. Making it through my run took all my dedication for the day!

I can't wait for my first run of 2010!

Wow! You had a GREAT year when you look at it that way! You should be very, very proud. I am! All 3 of you girls have started taking such good care of yourselves. It's wonderful.

I must have forgotten to do this yesterday! So I'll start the new year with a new post.

We were Fitnaticing at the same time!!

Thank you! I am proud, now that you put it that way!

I've said it before and I know I'll say it again - I think a big part of our change is that we have such a great example leading us!!
