2013 Running Goals
1. First and foremost 26.2 under 4 hours--enough said
-As of March 31, 2013 I continue to lok at marathons to determine where I would like to attempt this goal. I'm still leaning towards an October race.
2. Achieve a second sub 1:50 so I can remove the asterick from my current sub 1:50 PR
-I missed this goal by a whopping 43 seconds when I ran the Rock 'n' Roll USA 1/2 on a very challenging, hilly course. It was still a PR on a legitimately measured course so I am happy about that. I will get that 1:50 before the year ends though.
2013 Mini Running Challenges
1. Run 100 miles per month
-70.10 miles run in March. Crazy ice show practice schedules put a major glitch in this one. I took the entire week off before my last half because of schedule conflicts. I am a little disappointed that I didn't hit 100 miles this month but my "Belle" and "Batman" and their fantastic skating made it a little easier to swallow.
2. Run 1300 miles for the year
-1,052.99 miles to go to complete this challenge.
2013 Non-Running Mini Challenges
1. Cross-train at least twice a week
-As happy as I was with my performance in this area last month, I am quite sad to say that I did ONE measly cross-training workout this month. It happened to be a Pure Barre class.
2. Complete a jump rope workout every day
-Not a single jump rope workout completed.
3. Drink 50 ounces of water per day (based on my current weight, this is my daily water intake need)
-Still doing well with this one.
4. Take my vitamins daily
-Vitamin taken every single day in March.
5. Continue to choose and cook healthier foods
-11 meals made in March. I am quite happy about this considering all of the time we had to spend at the ice rink and grab food on the go.
6. Learn to swim...better luck this year
-Second verse same as the first. We all know this one is a thorn in my side. I have done extensive research in regards to swim lessons. I just need to figure out what will fit my schedule and make the commitment.
Overall, I have to say that I am happy to have at least gotten some exercise in during the craziness that was ice show month. I wish I had gotten a bit more cross-training in but unfortunately it just didn't work out. There is always next month.
I am going to look at the spin class and Pure Barre class schedules for this week and make some commitments since the kids and I are on Spring Break. I will get it back together. I know that the cross-training really helps me to improve as a runner so I need to get back on the wagon, so to speak.
Keep running, you're simply the best, and you inspire me!!
