We’re halfway through 2013 so it is a good time to take a look at those goals to see how I am doing.
I must say that things were looking up until June 1.
- Run 3-4 times a week ALL YEAR (use the treadmill when it is too cold or slippery or raining outside)- YES, until June 1.
- Continue fitting in tennis and yoga at least once a week (as cross-training) – Yes, until June 1.
- Finish my 5K races under 30 minutes and not stress about a PR (though getting one would be super!) – Sure I stressed but finished Ice Breaker, Lake George, Mother’s Day and the Freihofer’s all under 30 min.
- Get an Age Group award (in May I will be entering a new AG!!) – Yes, in the correct AG, I finished 1st at Lake George 5K and 1st in my new AG at the Mother’s Day 5K.
- PR in a 10K race (I have only one injured 10K under my belt.) – Yes, HMRRC #3
-
Run a 10 mile race (the one from Lake George to Bolton Landing is on my bucket List) – Nope (broke my foot on June 1).
-
Run at least one half marathon (a spring and a fall one) – Yes, I ran the Sarasota Half Marathon in March (the fall one may not happen.)
-
Run at least 12 races (one per month, if possible) – Yes, at least one per month and 11 total races already!! (However, there will probably be no races in July and August 😦 I hope to resume racing in September.)
-
Run a race in another state – Yes, I ran in Florida (Vermont was planned for next month but that one is doubtful)
-
Run a NEW race (hopefully one in NYC) – Yes, I’ve run 5 new ones so far – Hmrrc #3 & #5, Ice Breaker 5K, Lake George 5K, Mother’s Day 5k, ( NYC hopefully next year)
- Listen to my body and slow down when necessary (In other words, do not get injured…) – I broke my foot but I cannot blame overuse on that one.
-
Continue blogging regularly (to keep track of miles, as a motivator, to meet new runners…) – YES!
So I think I did pretty well during my 5 healthy months.
Let’s hope my foot heals quickly and I can add more miles and races during the rest of the year.
Happy Running! How has your 2013 been?













Hang in there! I can tell that once you are cleared for exercise you will be right back to it and your end of year report card will show all your hard work!

I have no race in March because of injury but hope to hit the rest. Heal heal heal.
