May has arrived, very quickly this year has gotten away from me. I had such plans going into 2013 after finishing my first marathon which were quickly destroyed by IT band syndrome. I signed up for several races and low and behold, I ended up in P.T. rather than PR'ing races which I believed I could.
Enough pity party.... May goals:
1. Run at least 75 miles this month.
2. Complete glute exercises at least 4 times a week.
3. Complete the ab program my girl Nicole at Cole Squared Fitness developed for me
4. Unplug in the evening when my kids are still awake and limit my time to an hour when my hubby is home.
I think I can stick by these and will be checking in more frequently to hold myself accountable for my decisions that I am making.
I have two races so far for this month. The Carytown 10k this weekend and then the Foam Fest the following weekend with my husband. We run a few races a year together and this is one of them. I am not a fan of obstacle races but he loves them so I will support him. I am definitely fearful of hurting my knee and not being able to complete any of my races I have paid for. I am considering a half in August which puts me back in training the second week of June which I was planning on taking easy and cross training during but HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!
Running is my drug...... I try to stop and end up signing up for another race. At least this habit burns calories!!
Love the goal to unplug! Weird that it's so hard for us all to relax these days, but it really does take effort and planning sometimes.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with all of your goals!!
