Man, I totally suck at blogging consistently. Since it's almost the end of the year, let's take a look at how we did with our New Year's resolutions we made at the start of the year. And by we, I mean me.
1. Work towards a 9:30 mile.
* Well, I know I did get faster, at least with my long runs. I have yet to see if I can hold a 9:30 mile pace for 3 miles. I'll test myself next week.
2. Strength-train at least twice a week. Okay, that sounds like too much to expect from me. Let's go with once a week.
* Except for the times I've been sick, I've actually been pretty good with this one. Most times I've actually strength-trained 3 times a week.
3. Drink at least 3 bottles of water a day. An old trainer of mine told me I should be drinking 6-7 bottles of water a day. And I used to. But I have been slacking majorly. So 3 sounds like a doable goal for now.
* I think I managed this one, too. What helped a lot was eating tons of cookies and cake. I get very thristy eating those and hence, down a lot of water.
Ugh, I think I'm 10 pounds heavier from the start of the year. Ah, well, I'm working on it.
I had my wisdom teeth pulled last Monday and took a complete week off from all exercise. It kind of sucked since I have double halves coming up this weekend, and last week was supposed to be my peak training week. Oh, well.
So I headed out and did a ten miler today and plan on a six miler tomorrow. I felt a bit tired, but good on today's run. I managed an 11:08 pace. I told myself not to go fast today and the goal was to take it easy and finish, which I did. But even when I tell myself that and stick to it, I always am disappointed when I don't set a personal record. I know, I'm an idiot.
