Hello, 2012, nice to see you! Here is it Jan. 14 and I am already way behind in things I want to post about. But first things first and first I must recap 2011. This was the year I set out to do one 5k per month in what I dubbed my Operation 12 Races. I am proud to say that I completed my goal! Here are some highlights. Many thanks to my husband for always being willing to take the 'post race w/ new shirt' photos!
