Running...

I have a love hate relationship with running. Sometimes it's the hardest and last thing I want to do and other times I love it and wish I could do more!! The latter are few and far between feelings ;) Although tonight was a good run. I changed at the gym after my workout and put on my Portland Marathon finishers shirt. I've worn this shirt more proudly than any other race shirt I've ever earned! We trained, we ran, we ran well, we finished!

One thing that always makes me feel inspired, is doing races. A while ago I decided to start keeping track of all my races. I went back to try and remember as many as I could. I started doing 5 and 10ks in 2001 and 2002, but could only remember enough to start tracking from 2003. Here's the run down...
