Personal:

When I started running, which was back in Feb. of 2007, I weighed 110 lbs. more than I do now.  Although I do not run as fast as I would like, I feel like as long as I continue to progress, I can make it to my goals. I have found that running has been essential to keeping the weight off for me.  When I start to take it easy after a race is over, that is when the pounds can creep back on!

This was a run while I was on vacation in Puerto Morelos, Mexico, and while on the one hand I am kind of embarassed to post such a small amout on what is usually my long day, with the humidity down there I am really kind of proud that I made it as far as I did!  When I left the resort we were staying at, it was only in the low 80's I would have to guess.  Not really too hot at all.  But, the humidity had to be up in the 80-85% range as well.  By the time I got back from the loop, I couldn't stop sweating, and I even had to take two cold showers!  Another thing that was surprised me was how much it slowed me down.  I ran an average of one minute per mile slower down there than I usually do here in St. George.  It was a wierd experience overall, but it did make me respect mother nature that much more.
