Resolution Run 5k, first run of the year!

I did the Resolution 5k today but really ran 8 miles, seems like the more I run the less I want to just run 3.1 miles at a time if I have the time to go further.

 I still have not bothered to get more ink for my printer so I took a picture with the computer again.
 It was much nicer outside today than it was yesterday even thought the temperature is colder.  The big difference was the wind.  There was still a little wind today but compared to yesterday it was a light breeze.

 It was a little overcast but with all this open road in front of and behind me, it was hard to not feel the excitement a new year can bring with it.  All the possibilities just waiting to happen! 

 Happy New Year!

  3. Great job on your run! I too got out and logged my first miles of the year, but 4 instead of 8. Hope the weather continues to improve for you.

  14. You always have such gorgeous photos. We must have been living in the same weather conditions this week--the wind died here, too, and brought us a cold front. I went for a 3-mile recovery run myself. It was gorgeous.

    Here's to more good ones for both of us in 2012. I'm so glad I've "met" you and followed your journey.

  15. I can't wait to see what 2012 holds for you. You are one talented and speedy girl Christy. Love the pics of the open road. Something about these open roads that I love so much. I don't remember the last time that I ran on a road like that where I could just run miles and mile...probably during college in Iowa. Loved running in Iowa. The fields were endless...so beautiful. IN all season. Such a time of solitude.

    Hope you have a wonderful new year!
