There are some things (fitness related) that I am scared to do. Or out of my comfort zone. Or …I figure if I put it out there, I will be able to face it and know that I need to overcome it. Swimming in the Deep – Even a 6ft deep pool scares me. Weight training – Not scared of doing them, but scared of the soreness the day after (and the day after) and so I avoid it. Pushups…
I think I should review my goals and plans every quarter.Goals Improve my 5k speed from 37min to under 36 by the end of the year. – I am sure I can break 36 if I ran a 5k today. I’ve been able to do mile repeats at 12:00 pace with minimal walking in between. So maybe its time to sign up for a 5k race! Get to 2:45-2:50 in a half marathon. – DONE ! I got a 2:48…

(I need an alternate title if I’m going to write 3 random things. There’s nothing wrong with TTT, but … hmm.. would like to be a little more creative) 1. I’ve been soooo tired this week. Could be excess work, could be stress, could be getting only 1.5 running days (I walked one of those days) and those were past 8:30pm. I’m a get ’em done by 8:30 AM kind of girl, so the pm doesn’t really do anything for…
This says it all. (I don’t know their web url, so linking to facebook.) ps: I’ve been reading about themes in blogs – Tanget Tuesday, Wordless Wednesday, Three Things Thursday, etc. Maybe I’ll borrow from it so I can keep my blog flowing when work is interfering with blogging. Dang work …. can’t live wihout it, can’t live with it.
Inspired by Today’s #dailymission over at Dailymile What race would you most want to do, if you didn’t have to worry about any logistics (money, family, work, injury, etc.)? Yes, I have a bucket list of marathon races in-spite of having just one year of running under my belt. And please ignore the slight fact that I have never yet run a marathon. London Marathon (Last year, after I saw “Run Fat Boy, Run”, I had a dream that I was pregnant and running London;…
Finally, after months of wavering, I joined a running group. I’m hoping that Get Fit Atlanta will help me get to the start line at Chicago. I’ve had 3 group runs. I found out that I’m still very very awkward running in a group – especially where everyone is faster than I am. All 3 days, I was the straggler. I’m sometimes embarrassed, when someone slows down to stick with me and sometimes sad, when everyone else is getting valuable advice…
