See ya 2010, it’s been fun but I’ve got a new year to conquer!
Looking back on 2010 I am exhausted. I did a lot! I had so many fantastic opportunities and accomplished so much. Here is a quick breakdown:
- Lost 107 pounds and reached LIFETIME at weight watchers
- On the cover of WW Weekly
- Featured in my local newspaper!
- Made a ton of new friends
- Participated in 23 races (ran 22, volunteered at 1)
- Ran 3 half marathons. PR’d at the Disney Princess
- Ran a 3 person relay Marathon with 2 fantastic bloggers
- Did the NY Ragnar Relay and had an amazing time
- Won the Progresso Souper You contest & had a makeover!!
- Started working for weight watchers
- Reached a new 5k PR (28:23)
- Came in 3rd place in my age group!
- Mentored at the No Boundaries Program
- RAN MY FIRST MARATHON!!
I ran 875.13 miles in 2010! My goal was 1000 miles for the year but I’ll gladly take 875. For reference I ran less then 600 miles in 2009.
I cannot wait to see what 2011 has to offer me!
A totally awesome year, Amanda! You ran a lot farther than I did. Looking for to another great year for you. :)
ReplyDeletedamn! now that's what i call a successful year! congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteGood job on 2010, can't wait to see what you have in store for 2011. Wayto go.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great year! You certainly are an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on all your accomplishments! I've recently found your blog and can't wait to read more about your running :) Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI'm a new runner - slowly taught myself to jog in 2009 and trained for my first half in 2010 - I had never run before at all. I plan to continue running in 2011 and hopefully improve on my times (still super slow) and frequency.
You are such an inspiration! Congrats on all of your accomplishments this year.
ReplyDeleteWhat a year - glad to have met you - hope to see you at some races.

Hi Amanda,
ReplyDeleteJust read about your amazing weight loss journey on Yahoo. Congratulations on all you've accomplised, but more importantly for publicly sharing it with others who will find the inspiration to make a positive change in their own lives.
Awesome job. I also am on the way to becoming a runner but more importantly for me a triathlete. You follow my progres at http://athenatrainingdiary.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteKeep upi the good work - I love the idea of tracking the miles covered as well as weight lost!
Wow that is awesome. I love your story. My name is also Amanda and I am 29. I have struggled with weight my entire life. I am tired of worrying about what others say, about worrying about what I am eating all the time. I am in need of some motivation and your story hit the spot. Thanks.
