I started my blog a little while ago, and although it was on my mind constantly and I've told my family, I never did write my goals for running. I'm here to correct that right now!
So in my first blog I talked about why I wanted to start running...that I wanted to get back into it but more seriously that I ever did before. Before I started this blog, I told my parents my top goals in my running endeavor. Here they are:
1. Train to run 30+ minutes constantly--build my foundation
2. Train for and race in a 5K
3. Train for and race in a 10K
4. Train for and race in a 1/2 marathon.
A fifth and later goal is to eventually run a marathon. I realize this might take a while, but I believe I can accomplish this goal before I am 30. Right now I'm 23 years old. If I work/train hard and accomplish my four goals listed above, I know I will be able to achieve this fifth goal.
I have almost accomplished goal 1. As I mentioned in my previous post, I have decided to go back in my training schedule because I had such a bad week with training. If I don't hit anymore obstacles, I will reach my goal by Halloween! As for my goal number two, I have signed up for the San Diego Mud Run, and the LB Turkey Trot. The SD Mud Run is less of a race and more of a mud obstacle course (obvi), so I do not count that as my first 5K. My first 5K will take place ON Turkey Day of this year, and I can't wait!!! I've signed up and there is no turning back! It will be here before I know it, and so I have to follow through with all my training (including the getting used to running in the pitch black mornings!) But it's sooooo worth it.
So I just wanted to clarify my top goals in my running adventures. I can't wait to accomplish them ALL!!!
Have a fabulous weekend and if anyone is racing, good luck and run happy!
xoxo
