New year, new running goals!

Yesterday I started the new year off right by running the 1st run 5k in Portland. The run started at midnight and there were over 1200 runners and walkers present! We started at the World Trade Center and ran north on Naito Parkway. We turned around a bit past the broadway bridge and then ended back at the World Trade Center.

It was a very memorable New Year's eve and hopefully the evening will foreshadow what lies ahead in 2009. Will the new year be a time of running, health and wellness? Or will it be but a glimmer in my standard state of infrequent exercise and fad diets.

I guess we'll have to see. All I can do is focus on the now, and right now I'm on my way to do a 2.5 mile run! Happy New Year!!

P.S. Mad props to Forrest for running the race with me! Sorry about the late shout out!
