2012 was not the best year for me when it comes to running. It was a great year otherwise as I became a Grandad, or "Poppy." If you are my Facebook friend, you are probably saying "oh no, here he goes!" That's right. I love being a Poppy. I also published my first book, "All My Strength." Lots of other great things happened in 2012 as well. But running was not the best. I spent almost half the year nursing a hamstring injury. I did manage to run in 2 additional states, Oregon and Wisconsin. My goal was to add 5. Didn't happen. So, we move on to 2013.
10k in Portland, Oregon
On Father's Day, I will strike an item off my "Bucket List." I have signed up for the San Francisco Half Marathon. I will run across the Golden Gate Bridge! I am very excited about this race.
I am working on other races. I will, Lord and hamstring willing, run my usual races as well. I didn't get to run in the Peachtree Road Race last year and hope to in 2013. I am also planning to run in the 65 Roses 5k in Cleveland, Tennessee. It is a family event with extended family and the perfect place to run with Finley. Did I mention that I am a Poppy? There are a few local races that I do as well. Georgia is one of the top states for running events in the country. Who knew?
2013 promises to be a great year for running and having another grandson! That's right, Jonah will make his appearance in February. Above all, I want to walk (or run) in the path of Jesus and do the things I ought to do as a follower of Christ and believer in Him. I wish nothing but the best for you in 2013!
