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

Went to the gym and ran on tready. 30 minutes at 8:49 pace, 15 min. at 8:29 pace, and last 15 at 8:00. Overall, 8:34. I felt good but my heart rate is up a little and continuing to climb at the end of my runs. It amazes me how fast I lose fitness. Did shoulders/biceps/abs. Only did 3 movements for each with 2 sets for each movement (15/12 sets). Again, I haven't done weights for a few weeks and I definately felt it today.

75 minute travel step interval class. Whew, I was exhausted! Not a great class to do when you end up being up all night in blizzard conditions. It ended up snowing SOOOO much at our house on christmas eve-christmas day. We had 5+ foot snow drifts and I'm sure it ended up snowing another 18+ inches. We went to open our garage to leave Christmas morning and had a 3 foot wall of snow. The hubby put the old suburban in 4 wheel drive and rallied out of the driveway. A little scary!

I met Julie at the gym and ran on the treadmill. You know it's bad when you go to bed with a stomach ache and wake up with one. I started running and knew I was in for it. I took my pace up to 6.7 and thought I'd puke so I took it back down to 6 and stayed there for quite a while. Took it up to 6.4 for a while then to 6.7 and decided to call it quits at 9 miles. We'd planned on 12 but....  Julie got over 10 miles in the same amount of time. I don't know what my deal was or is. I still feel yucky. Now that Christmas is over, I need to dump all the goodies in the garbage and start over. I think my body is on a permanent sugar high and going on strike:)
