I love the new year, it always brings new hopes, goals and of course resolutions. I put on some weight in late 2005 which is really evident when I run. The strain on the knees and body are really incredible. So I have really set some goals for myself this year that have to do with weight and running. First, I want to get to 225 this year. That should allow me to run in a half marathon San Diego in June with Jennifer. We have registered for the lottery in the Vermont relay marathon (Jen, Kathryn and Matthew and myself) for May.
I would also like to get to 10 minute miles in a 10K this year. That would really be sweet. Finally, I am planning on continuing my strength training with Pam at one day a week as long as $$$ permit. I find it to be a nice addition to the running schedule.
There are two critical things that have to occur for this to work. I have to keep balance at work and church. I cannot drink for an extended period of time and I cannot get stressed over what is working and not working. (I find myself worrying over things that are out of my control)
It has been a good start to the year. I started running last week, 3 - 3mile days and then a 4 miler with a strength training day. I have run 2- 3milers thus far this week and am planning on another and then a 5 miler this weekend. My strength training is on Friday.
I also started weight watchers and have been on the path for two whole days. Does'nt sound like a lot but it is a start. My weight was 268 on Tuesday..... Will check in later this week with good news....
