Good day to you !
I can not believe that it has been a year since I blogged about my exercise!! WOW!! and the things I have learned since, have been soo amazing as well as what I have accomplished.
First, I would love to share, my accomplishments:
5K in Kasson MN
5K in Brownsdale MN
Half Marathon in Long Beach Cali in Oct '09 ( 2:14 )
8K in Hayfeild MN
Half Marathon in Seattle WA in June '10 ( 2:00 )
Second, I would also love to share what is to come in 2010:
August I am joining a running group, named "Team Red"
November I am planning on a half marathon ( place undecided )
February, 2011 - I now have planned a full marathon in Austin Tx
Third, I need to share with you the amazing things that I have learned through running -- OK -- I will share with you that I am continuing my running and have picked up a new training program for this next two races, as I am working on my speed. Before I was working on crossing the finish line, now its become more for me. As well working on my speed, I also want to work on continuing the exercise and the healthy lifestyle this has on myself, as well as the influence it has on my children.
There really is a ton of information that I have learned and so many different techniques from running, as I continue to blog, I am hoping that I will be able to share these with you !!
I have also continued my strength training as well. I feel that is necessary for my muscles need to stay strong, especially, if I want to run faster :O)
Eitherway -- I thought I would start blogging, once again, on my exercise to share with everyone and also to keep myself accountable !!
Today is a 5 miler -- I am on a 20 wk program again and I have been told that right now its important to maintain my base. So for these next few weeks it will be maintaining, and that is at/around 20 mi/wk and then my circuit training as well, 3 to 4 days/wk.
Hopefully you will all find it in your hearts to take care of you as well!! It has done amazing things to my body, mind and soul!!
With tons of hugs and love to you all!!!
Lori
