Notes from 2007:
This being my first year back my goal was to run in one race.......Never did I imagine that I would far surpass this goal. Thanks to Vince , my girlfriend and my own strong will to succeed I feel I can accomplish almost anything. Which is why Sept 8th I have decided to run in The Arc half Marathon. I did it! I finished my first 1/2 marathon!

Also Vince has invited me to run in a 50 mile relay race this fall. Which has opened my eyes to maybe starting to train for long races and eventually by next year I hope to be ready to finish a full Marathon.
Favorite running moments of the season so far:
Group runs (always a good time )
Finishing The Alps - A good feeling of finishing possibly the hardest 5k(ish) race I have ever run and finishing my first race since 2000.
Favorite races - McQuaid (Rochester) , Utica BoilerMaker
Best times 5k-17:46 , Mile 4:57 1/2 Mile 2:05
Year 2000
