Christmas Day run in shorts! It's been a little colder since then. I feel like my running has been a bit all over the place. Working more hours than usual the last month, good but harder to fit all my miles in then thinking I would have so much time to run last week with 3 days off work but asking someone to watch Gretchen so I could go on a 4+ hour run felt wrong. Had a couple good runs from my parents house to Warrensburg and back and somehow managed to get up at 5am one day and run a solid 17 miles on the treadmill.
Had a few good runs with a little snow pre Christmas.
Egg Nog makes a great coffee creamer substitute, just saying.
Christmas Present, It is a Running Journal by Lauren Fleshman, a pro runner. I'm pumped about filling it out and it is full of inspirational running quotes. Nothing I love more than a good quote.
Getting to it I started my New Year's Day with 13 miles at Wallace State Park in Cameron, MO at a Fat Ass run. It was a warm 18˚ when we started. It was put on by this nice couple, they apparently do it every year. It was a 6 mile loop you could go as many times as you wanted. I went with a group and we did two loops. After we went to the couples house where they had soup and lots of cookies all for free. So nice! Once I got home I showed, napped then decided to drive out to WYCO park and finished the day with another 7 with the BAR group so good way to start it all off I think.
Miles:
2012: 1166.63
2013: 1328.68
2014: 1963
Calling it a win. So close to 2000 but not quite. Way more than last year though.
Last Year's Goals:
3 pull ups in a row --- Not a total fail I bought a pull up bar and can do a solid one
Run a 50 mile race --- Nailed it! Ran 2, won both
New Marathon PR --- Fail, didn't even try to run a marathon
Run without injuring myself --- Nailed it! Ran lots, no injuries
Only made fitness goals and decided to ignore the rest of my life because I didn't know what to do with that mess.
Fail or not fail I don't know. It's less of a mess but not where I want it to be.
This Year's Goals:
Run 100 mile race --- Planning on that happening Jan 31st-Feb 1st.
3 pull ups in a row --- I feel like getting to 1 pull up was a lot more work than getting to 3
New marathon PR --- Already signed up for Rock and Roll DC so unless I injure myself I should be good.
Run more races --- I've got a list going of races I'm thinking about, some I don't wanna sign up for till I see how this 100 miler goes
Blog more --- You know for all my fans(Hi mom!) haha
Still gonna just ignore the rest of my life, that seems to be working for me. kinda.
I'm glad you like the journal! We can both marathon PR together in March!
