July – DNS at the Peachtree Road Race 10k because Guru had his appendix taken out the day before. Slowly started building a base again for Oct’s 13.1

August – Toyed with the idea of Acworth’s Sprint Triathlon, but gave it up after the Calloway’s bad swim experience. DH was traveling and being a single parent was taking its toll on me and my miles, and sick as a dog the last 2 weeks with bronchitis.
Running Mileage – 38 miles


September – DNS at the Labor Day 10k classic. Was still recovering sick. But pulled in big numbers during the long run weekends. Also got help from Big Peach about my cramping issue. Did not swim any after my sickness.
Running Mileage – 52 miles

November 25 Atlanta Thanksgiving Half Marathon – 2hrs 59min 49sec I made a sub-3 time !!!! This after hitting the WALL at 11.5miles. The wall is not a pleasant experience.
