YAY!!! I'm so excited that we are getting super close to marathon weekend!!!! Thanks to everyone who has stopped by and wished me well! Now that all the holiday happenings are over...I am in full Disney focus!
What have I been up to since last I posted? I managed to run 5 Miles on Thursday (Treadmill...which kills my knees), walked 5 Miles on Saturday, did a bunch of pilates throughout the week and ran my 10 miler on Sunday at exactly a 10 mpm. Yesterday I set out to do 4 miles as per the plan....and I really took my time so I could get as much run time in as 4 miles allows .
Later today I plan to hit the ski machine for 30 minutes...and do a bit more pilates.
My fitness goals for 2008 are as follows:
1. Survive Goofy!!!!
2. Run two Half Marathons...Disneyland here we come!!
3. Train for another Full Marathon and finish in under 4:30 . Arizona? WDW again? time will tell..although somebody I know wants to run the entire elite series in 2009 so Arizona looks likely!!!
4. Complete a sprint triathlon *maybe*....I can bike, run and swim. But I'm not really good at any of them! Actually...the swimming part will be the hardest for me as I haven't swam competitively in....ummmm.....27 years. Good lord!
5. Add more biking, yoga and additional cardio to my training week.
6. Try to maintain a running base of 18-20 miles/week during non-training periods. Yikes!
7. Continue to get trained and certified in Pilates!!!
Wow...that's a whole bunch of goals. I think they are all attainable as long as I don't get lazy after the marathon. Having a lot of races planned is the key to my success!!!
Thanks again for being so supportive of my training this year. I'm in such a better place before this years' race. I wish you all the best in 2008!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
