Looking back on my first year of running

I started running at the end of 2006.  I didn't really consider myself to be a runner until a bit into 2007... after I'd been running about 3 months, at least 4-5 days a week and I realized I hopefully would always continue.  It was an amazing  feeling and it continues to this day.  While admittedly, sometimes while running I feel I can't go on much longer... I always want to go for my next run.  I've also started alternating routes as well as finally making peace with the treadmill.  I used to hate the treadmill and found it very boring. I can't say it's stimulating now but perhaps the fact that it lets me run on days when I'm too cold is helpful.  Also I finally can run fast enough that it can be called running!  My Garmin Forerunner really helped with that.  I finished my first 5K in under 30 minutes which made me very happy... actually even under 29 minutes!  Only crazy runners like me keep count like that.  You know who you are!
