I completed my first half-marathon in October. It was a great experience, even though I hadn't trained as well as I'd have liked. I finished in 2:48. Honestly, my goal was to finish, so I'm pleased that I finished in less than 3 hours. I didn't stop running until after mile 10, but then I started feeling a lot of muscle exhaustion. I jog-walked the next 2 miles, but I was able to finish the last mile running. The best part of the event was the camaraderie. Everyone was so supportive - the other participants and those on the sidelines. I absolutely want to do it again next year...but I'll need to tweak my training plan a little to avoid injury :)
Now the plan:
I haven't done much of anything fitness-related since the half, but I think I've had enough time off. I was recently reminiscing back to the days of when I was doing bootcamp. My body went through an amazing transformation, even though I didn't lose much weight. This is what I want back. I don't care about how much I weigh (within reason), but I want to get back to that shape. I think my husband and I are going to do the P90X program. Everything I've seen reminds me of those bootcamp workouts, and I think it's exactly what I need.
I'd like to see some decent progress before 2010. I'd really like to start the new year out right.

Glad to see your still going after your goals. P90x is tuff and a great workout/program. I owe allot of my success to it. I still do several P90x workouts a week. I need to get back to a full rotation. I am still struggling trying to find the motivation to be super dedicated. I will get back though, its the only road I have.
You've peeked my interest.... so I'm off to find out what P90X is all about.
Looking forward to another update.
