A long time comin'

I can't believe I haven't written here in over a year. Here's a short synopsis of what I've been up to- if anyone still reads this.

1) I ran Midnight Madness on 12/31/08. Did okay.
2) I finally had foot surgery on 4/1/09 to take care of my neuroma and metatarsal problem. I was in a walking cast for 6 weeks.
3) I started working out- walking and running again on 6/2/09.
4) I started watching what I eat using fitday.com on 8/2/09. Since the original injury in 2006 I gained a considerable amount of weight.
4) I threw my back out in September and had to take a hiatus for about 3 weeks.
5) I added weights, cardio other than running, and more yoga into my routine in Ocotber.
6) I ran the Anthem Turkey Trot in November, Midnight Madness on 12/31/09, and Year of the Tiger 5k on 2/13/10. I ran my best time in a long time at this race: 36:23.
7) As of today I have lost 23 lbs.
8) My next race is a 5k on 3/21, then Pat's Run on 4/17.
9) I'd like to lose about 13 more lbs. and then I'll think about a half marathon.

Okay, that brings me up to date!
