Mid-Year Report Card


report-card1

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.

already more miles than all of 2012

already more miles than all of 2012

  • 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.
running in Naples, Fla.

even ran 3 times while on vacation

  • 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.

  • 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)
Mother's Day 5K in Schenectady

Mother’s Day 5K in Schenectady

  • 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?
