Running Crazy in 2013

So I've decided to run 13 Half Marathons in 2013. 13 13.1's in 2013! My first race I've registered for this year is the Hero-thon in San Antonio on January 27th. I'm thinking about dressing up like Wonder Woman...No, really. The race is benefiting LLS which is great because that's kinda what grew this passion I have for running in the first place. My first half was with LLS at the Nike Women's Marathon in San Francisco. Wow! What an experience. I trained with Team in Training for 5 months preparing for the big day and at the same time I raised $3400 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society! Yeah!! I will definitely be doing the same event again this October! The views were spectacular!

We even got this awesome Tiffany necklace at the finish line.

Oh,and I almost forgot to mention it was Firemen dressed in Tuxedo's who handed us the little blue boxes with the necklaces...

but I digress... So now, I'm on my next journey of running in 2013. I want to get out and meet even more fellow runners. I want to run more miles at a faster pace. And I want to travel to a few places along the way. I know for me, last year was a transformational experience. Running became my therapy. I have cried, laughed and had somewhat "breakthrough" moments during my long runs and I've talked to others who have as well. As I write more entries I'll share more of my experiences and the experiences of running friends who let me tell their stories. And who knows- maybe I'll meet some new friends through this little blog. Happy New Year and Happy Running! -Ang
