Listing the races I have run...

It seems it was just yesterday when I crossed the finish line of my first race ever, the Bolder Boulder 10K in 2009.  Since then, I've developed quite a taste for collecting medals (my favourite kind of bling!), and saving my Bib numbers like little treasures and reminders of my effort and all the training miles covered for that one day of personal glory, be it because you achieved a new PR (Personal Record) or because everything fell into place and you had a great race, or because it was awful... yep, let's face it, not every run is pretty and filled with rainbow light and unicorns... some races fall into the horrible reality of injury, pain, and many tears... I've been there, and I won't forget those bad ones because they've made me a stronger runner, and if anything a person that's now in tune with her body, and by paying attention to the signs, I can stay within "the rainbow light" of happiness and great running days!
