Wow! It's hard to believe that this blog was started last year when venturing out to Colorado. What a year 2010 was. From highs to lows and everything between. A lot of personal bests were achieved but nothing like I had hoped for. I learned a lot about myself, which will help prepare me for a successful 2011. I'm sure there will be many obstacles to overcome. When June rolls around and I'm standing on the starting line waiting for the gun to go off in the 1500 final of the U.S outdoor champs, I will think to myself, it's not that moment or experience that's so great. It's the journey along the way. Long runs that seem never ending. Nagging injuries that linger for years and years. The 100 mile weeks that you never thought possible. Track workouts alone, in which you find out what your made of. I could go on and on but the fact of the matter is, nothing is more gratifying than the experience along the way!

Please share with me your goals for 2011. Both running and non-related to running. Hope everyone is pumped for a great year!!!
