Marathon Finish

Running Accomplishments:

 I started running last year, my first race was December 2008. It was my first 5k. In the past year I have done 5k's, a 5 miler, 10k, 10 miler and my first half marathon. I started running so I could keep off the weight I had lost (70 pounds). And in running, I have found solace, peace, and friendships.

Short-Term Running Goals:

 My goals for 2010 are:

*2150 total miles

*finish a walking/jogging marathon

*a 2 hour half marathon

Long-Term Running Goals:

  I want to take each year as it comes.

2009 goal was just to run. I did make the goal of 2000 miles. It was my first year running. I will update my total on the 31st of January.

 

Personal:

 This past year has been frought with difficulty, trials, and stress. But it has also been a blessing. I learned what I can do, what my body can do, and how to make myself what I want to be.

My three kids have been a wonderful inspiration, and my husband, not matter how we fuss, fit or fight, is ultimately my best friend.

Took a few extra days off last week. wasn't feeling well, just needed some downtime. Needed to create some goals. So here goes:

by Feb 14th (valentines day) I will:

drop 10 pounds....sounds like a lot, but really it's not. that's just 2.5 pounds a week. And with my new training schedule, it is completely doable.

M,W,F: 2 seperate runs, with a short weight set.

T and TH: 1 med run (7 miles ish) with a long weight set.

Need to tone up my tummy and legs a bit. But I can do it!

did my second run. most milage since august and training for the half marathon. loved each step. felt good to split the runs in two. might do it again tomorrow!

Ok..out of the blue....drop everything and move....I don't know what is going on, or why he is doing this. he said we will talk about it on Thursday. He is taking the day off that day. ok...I guess we will see.
