A Few Numbers

One thing I noticed across all fitness blogs that I visited is that people love numbers. I am a geek at heart too, so I will probably share numbers with you, although I don't think I will go in too much detail as I rather post the links that do so. For example, if you want to see my splits on a particular run, I will post a Runkeeper link to that activity and you can see all the details there.

I will give you some overall numbers though so you can get the big picture.

-Been running since October 2009

-Run the following races so far (see race results on the sidebar)

• Toronto Women's Run 5k (2010)
• Island Girl Women's 10k (2010)
• Longboat Toronto Island Run 10k (2010)
• Toronto Scotiabank Waterfront Half Marathon (2010)
• Around the Bay 30k Relay (2011)
• Mississauga Half Marathon (2011)

-I am 5'3" and currently weigh 141lb (goal of 130-135lb)

-I am a mom, I have 2 boys, 10 and 12 yr old

-My 5k PR is 28:24

-The longest I've ever run was 3h in summer of 2011 when I was training for the Scotiabank Toronto Marathon. I could not participate because I had my gallbladder removed a week before.

-I completed four times the 60k Walk to End Breast Cancer benefiting Princess Margaret Hospital

-Played volleyball for about 10yrs recreationally, then did 10yrs of martial arts (karate and taekwondo) before starting to run

-I love to hike, mostly for the purpose of geocaching. I often go at night with a bunch of friends because well, the day is not fun enough. The longest hike I did was about 20k in a day.

-I can play a mean ping-pong.

Alright, that's enough for now. In the next post I will talk about one of my favorite subjects, food. For now, I gotta eat my snack.
