It is the end of the year and looking back at 2011...
I run 3 PRs a 10 km in 39:14 and a PR in 10 EM in 1:07 I also run my first marathon in 3:11:05 and 6 weeks later I scored a PR at BeirutMarathon with a time of 3:09:09 (First Lebanese woman). I run 2 marathons in 2 months and I caught the marathon bug! I am officially addicted it was an experience not to be ever forgotten!! I have to give myself a credit because I didn't start running until May 2011 since i was recovering from the birth of BabyD via C section...
2011 was somehow unique and challenging just because I was able to combine my 4 days job as a software engineer who requires lots of sharpness as well as being a mother who requires lots of attention and a runner who is eager to run faster every day which also costs lots of time!I am known as a 'SuperChick' :D Through 2011 many doors were there for me to open them. Out of every door I opened a unique experience came out of it and these experiences made me a stronger and a better person who is ready to attack 2012...
What does 2012 has for the little ambitious girl?
Motto: RUN FAST, BE THE BEST! I would like to run more than 2 marathons just because I love the pain and the adrenaline and everything that a marathon has to offer!! At least one of these marathon has to be a sub3:05... i would also like to run a sub 1:30 in a HM and a sub 1 hour in a 15k distance... One of my dreams is to run New York marathon and most of the time when i want something it happens :) especially when i have the full support of my hubby.
Speaking of hubby and running it can be very difficult at times, running can drift you away especially when you get addicted to running not only running but running with certain special people. When this happens it can be an issue and unfortunately at that point you might have to give up some of your running mates but in the other hand you gain back the support, the attention and the love of your hubby. The bound becomes much stronger ...I am thankful to have a wonderful man who is totally willing to support my running and be there for me!!
I would like to thank all my family, my friends and my twitter friends who supported me and encouraged me throughout 2011!! You made my journey very exciting!!! THANK YOU!!
I will be drinking Champagne on your behalf!!
2012 Here I come...
Happy New Year 2012!!
