Run Like You Mean It

Here, in one easy-to-find stop, are all the pertinent deets about my ever-evolving running plan. The Husband and I ran the Grim Challenge in December 2012 and made a time of 1:49:45. Not fantastic, but better than my pace the first year I tried it. I also made my way through the Runner's World Holiday Run Streak Challenge: running at least one mile a day every day between Thanksgiving and New Year's. My next challenge is to run the Fleet Half-Marathon in March; hopefully with a time under 2:30:00. We may even attempt another half marathon before the year is out! I'll try to keep this updated for anyone who wants to do something similar.
