Short-Term Running Goals:

I've gotten the running bug back and hope I can continue to enjoy it. I think for now, my short-term goal is to NOT burn myself out. I am pro at doing that. I have a half and full marathon that I am planning on racing in a few months. I hope to be trained well enough to PR in both, but if not...I will enjoy the ride.

Under 1:30 half

3:15 marathon

Well, I really intended this week to be better but I had one of my kids with asthma aggrivated by pneumonia, and another one with the flu. So much fun. Anyway, I went to the gym and ran on the treadmill. I did 4 miles at a 8:49 and then 1 mile at 8:00, then did a half mile at 8:49 pace, half mile at 7:30 pace, half mile at 8:49 pace, half mile at 6:44 pace and then cooled down from 8:49 down to 10:00. I definately can feel my lack of running. I need to get my booty in gear.

I am not too excited about this weather. I don't mind cooler weather but the wind and snow make me want to stay in bed.

That sounds like a good treadmill workout! I always keep my eye out for things to make treadmilling more interesting. I'll have to make a note of that one!

Oh, I hope your family gets feeling better. Nothing worse than sick kids. Great job on the treadmill! Can't wait to see you back at group.
