2010 Goal Recap and Race Sched Update!!!

Its been a whole week since I made my 2010 goals and with my ankle coming back to life, I wanted to do a little positive-reinforcement and check out the steps I've made so far!!!

1)Get and Stay Healthy... getting there-- The ankle feels better and I'm hoping to do a little bit of a longer run in my vibrams tonight. Wish me luck!!!!
2) 24 Marathons... signed up for another 3 including Rock-N-Roll Seattle!!! If anybody wants to run and need a $10 discount code let me know!!!
3)120 lbs - get there and stay there. Did a weight check on Saturday, I'm down to 126.5 (lost 1.5 lbs last week with all my non-running classes and high rep weight lifting. Plus eating a lot better. Woohoo!)
4) We've decided on our Alaskan Marathon-- MB, myself, Aunt Terri, and Granama will be going to Anchorage Alaska in August for MB and me to run the Humpy's Classic Marathon!!!
5) 2010 Miles in 2010-- With a week off, I'm low on milage (84.4 miles for the month) but hopefully I'll recover and make it up soon! For now... FAIL!
6) Treadmill!!! Ugh did my first mid-distance run this week! Making progress...
7) Bloggy friends... I've made plans to meet a few (see below sched) for a couple of races! yayyyy
8) Boston? No speedwork started this year with my break I was taking :( FAIL
Extra Goal: 150 followers? Well I had 77, and now I have 86 followers. I call that progress!

... NOT TOO SHABBY. Getting a good start, now I just need to stay focused and heal any injuries!

  13. I'm running Little Rock and St. Louis as well as Bataan with you. Another option for your Kansas race would be to run the Olathe Marathon as a double with St. Louis.

    Hope your recovery continues to go well!
