Ready to Go in 2016!

Time to continue my tradition! Once again, I want to run a race every month in 2016. And since illness and poor training stopped me from running a half marathon once again, I am BOUND and DETERMINED to run my first half marathon this year in 2016! I did it!!! I ran my first half marathon. :) And I will be running my second half marathon in September, In fact, I ran my second half marathon in September and I will be running my first 26.2 on October 16th – The Detroit Free Press International Marathon! I ran my first FULL marathon on 10/16/16 with my dear friend Staci! I’m officially a marathoner.
