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

5 1/2 on the treadmill while watching SNL Best of Will Ferrell. Oh my heavens, it doesn't matter how many times I've seen it, funny every time. A little hard to run while laughing that hard though.

5.65 on the treadmill. Every day is feeling better and I am feeling stronger. I definitely think slow and steady is the way to go.

I decided to not run yesterday and save a little energy for today. My original plan was to do 10 but I ran out of time and had to have my hubby pick me up at 8. I ran outside and did a great route. I felt awesome the whole time...temps were great. I definitely am a little bit faster than I thought I would be at this point. I averaged 9:16 and that actually felt easy:)

6 miles on the treadmill. It is so pretty outside and I would've loved going out but my little dude is so sick and nobody is here to watch him. Hopefully I will get outside on Saturday.

6 treadymill miles. I really didn't want to run today but my sick little boy made me. He wanted to finish watching the movie we watched while I was running yesterday. He was relentless about getting me to go down. He kept saying, "COME ON MOM, I WANNA WATCH THE MOVIE". I finally gave in. Now, if he was only that persistent every day when I don't wanna run.

Well, I intended to run Saturday (10 miles) and didn't so I thought I would Sunday and didn't and thought I would today and guess what...I didn't. Working in the restaurant business on Valentines weekend is insane. I worked Friday, Saturday, Sunday and tonight and it has been crazy busy and I am beat! Hopefully I can get back at it tomorrow.
