Goals

Hello!  I'm a "back of the pack" type of runner.  I am not in it to win it.  I'm not in it to get a PR.  I'm just here for the experience, to finish, and maybe collect some hardware along the way.

The goal of this blog is to hold me accountable to my scheduled runs, mileage, pace, and overall eating habits.  I had a previous running blog that I regret deleting.  It helped me so much when in training and so I decided to create another one.
 
I have many excuses:  I like to sleep.  I have a baby.  I'm a wife.  I have a full time job.  I don't have time.  It's too cold.  It's too hot.  I'm tired.  My knees hurt.  My back hurts.  I need sleep. Bla bla bla...
 
I really want to burn all those excuses and just make it happen.

I have a marathon I'd like to run in early January.  My goal for this race is to run it as easy as possible.  It is a part of my training for the "real" marathon.

The "real" marathon is in February.  My goal is just to finish it and get my third medal.
 
My ult(ra)imate goal is to run an Ultra Marathon.  I have been wanting to do this ever since I crossed the finish line of my first marathon in April 2009.  I really like long distance running and I want to see how far this soon to be 30 year old body can carry me!

The most meaningful thing in all of this is I have my husbands support.  He knows I'm a better person when I run.  And if I don't run I will most likely get a rep for being one "Mad Momma."

Please feel free to comment, give advice, & follow!  It makes a girl happy to hear feedback!
