Day 69: A Highlight Reel

I have spent some time re-reading the blog in preparation for the big finale tomorrow. I decided to list my Top 10 Favorite Moments, but it turned into the Top 25. Sue me.

In order of appearance, I present my Top 25 Favorite Blog Moments.

1. My First Blog: I really enjoy the entire first blog.
2. Day 1: I started off with a "Fail" day but managed to view it as a success.
3. Days 4, 6, 7, 8, 13, and 17: These were my early days of weather concerns. It went from hoping to run in the rain, to considering running with an umbrella, to not wanting to run in the rain, to finally having to run in the rain and loving it.
4. Day 7: Google image search result for "weightlifter."
5. Day 10, part 1: Discovering runningahead.com to track my runs.
6. Day 10, part 2: When I noted that I had started Napolean Dynamite'ing away from people. I still struggle not to run away like a lunatic when people appear in my path.
7. Day 11: A post on Zombies and Coco. You know it's a good one.
8. Day 13: The first time I really gutted it out to complete a run.
9. Day 18: Live jazz!
10. Day 13, Take 2: The Lost Finale.
11. Day 15, Take 2: A great run, on a 2nd attempt.
12. Day 17, Take 2: The whole post is great. Running with cats, Rapist Corridor, (cacao) delivery. Classic.
13. Days 20 and 21: Blog Tour.
14. Day 22: The only day that I really felt like I had a lot left when the run time ended.
15. Day 26: Leg muscles are definitely a highlight.
16. Day 36: Figuring out that I needed to put my head back was a revelation.
17. Day 29, Take 2: Finally getting to see the 10K route...at least the part that I hadn't previously seen.
18. Days 38/39, II, 40, II, 43, and 45: Vacation running, can't beat it.
19. Day 50: Not only did I tackle my long standing fear of a couple of hills, but something about a 17 minute run was very momentous for me.
20. Days 15, Take 2, 49, 52, and 68: The absurdity of dancing and singing while running.
21. Day 57: My first Other Runner spotting. Also, a successful run in 95 degree heat.
22. Days 59 and 61: My new, challenging, hilly route and the Batman elevation graphic.
23. Day 66: My new mission statement options.
24. Day 64: Having a random dog run with me.
25. Day 68: I made it to the last day of training!! Craziness!! And I ran for 30 minutes!! More craziness!!

Well, those were some of my favorites. Tomorrow is the big 5K day. There's 0% chance of rain, and the afternoon high heat index is only going to be 86. Looks like a perfect day to wrap this thing up!
