It’s been a while since I visited my goals for the year. I’m beginning to think about next year, so I thought I’d check in and see how I’m doing this year. 1) Run at least three half marathons, with the eventual goal of a sub-2 hour half. All done, with two of them at…

Home again home again plus monthly goal review
We flew home yesterday on one of the easiest, “no issues” flights we’ve ever had. Our luggage even came so fast that the boys and I were already waiting outside when Beer Geek called to say he was on the way back from the airport with the car (he cabs home and picks us up…
May recap, goals revisited, and Saucony maiden run
1) Run at least three half marathons, with the eventual goal of a sub-2 hour half. All done, with two of them at sub-2. Revised goal: Beat 1:30 at the Army 10 miler in October. 2) Run races in at least three new states (but I’m aiming for 5).Still looking good here. Delaware is DONE. Florida is…
March in Review
1) Run at least three half marathons, with the eventual goal of a sub-2 hour half. Surprisingly, this seems to be my easiest goal! I shocked myself by finishing the Caesar Rodney Half Marathon-2009 in 1:59:24. I did not expect that, given the hills, but I’ll take it. Now I’m aiming for a sub-9 minute pace. I have…

February in Review
So far, having goals, rather than resolutions seems to be working for me… 1) Run at least three half marathons, with the eventual goal of a sub-2 hour half. I have my first half of the year in less than two weeks. It’s the Citizens Bank Caesar Rodney Half Marathon-2009 in Wilmington, DE. I took…
January in Review
When I make “New Year’s Resolutions”, I usually not only break them by the end of January, but often completely forget what they were. This year I didn’t make any resolutions, but I did set goals. At the end of every month, I’m going to revisit them and see how I’m doing and tweak the…
Feeling sluggish and non-committal
I’ve only run 3 miles in the last four days and I’m starting to feel, well, just kind of blah. I’ve been eating too much most days and even when I eat a reasonable amount, too much of it is cookies and other not so healthy stuff. And water? What’s that? All I’ve been drinking…
