I've been thinking about my new goals since I finished the CBR 10K, and I have come up with a lofty but exciting new one.
I will run one official / timed race per month for the next year. My friend Melissa jokingly brought this idea up, and I totally fell in love with it! I'm posting my wishlist for the next year. I'd love to have company, so let me know if you are interested in joining in on the fun :)

About Me
- Meagan Byrd
- After years of fertility treatments, multiple surgeries, ovarian failure, and a hysterectomy Brent & I decided to expand our family through adoption. My career has been varied. Prior to Zoe's birth, I worked in L&D, oncology, staff development and academe. I have a BS in Nursing from Clemson and a MS in Nursing Ed from TWU. After Zoe's birth in 09, I found it ever so difficult to return to work! I left TWU to stay at home for Zoe's first year of life, but being someone who has always worked, I felt the need to try to go back to work (& school). I briefly took a job at TX Children's Hospital and began my PhD in Nursing Disaster & Emergency Management at the U of TN. After struggling with the pressures of full-time employment and school, I decided to throw it all in to stay at home. As of September of 2010, I have quit my PhD program and am no longer working full-time. Staying at home full-time has proven to be a new challenge for me. After 10 years of being career-minded, staying at home has been an adjustment. I've learned that being a stay-at-home Mom is a full-time job that is much more labor intensive and challenging than any of the jobs I've had before.

My Favorite Thing to Do
I was a firefighter with League City VFD for several years. I really wish I was in the right shape to do it again!

The same people who put on the Toughest 10K also do the La Porte by the Bay Half Marathon. If you do the 10K, you get $10 off the registration for the Half. It will give you another bridge to add to your list!
