New Year, New Plan, New Goals

cookma423

I know, I know. It's February. Not really a new year anymore. But my goals are new! So why not share them?

Mainly: I've got 3 races for which I have already signed up:

1. Half-Marathon: March 25th
2. Marathon: May 7th
3. Ultra-Marathon (55k): July 15th

Those will be my first marathon and ultra. I'm very excited, though absolutely intimidated by those distances haha. My dad helped me by hiring a coach; nothing fancy, he put together a training plan for me and monitors it. Being accountable to someone else for a training plan helps me stay motivated to complete the workouts.

I'm still stagnant at about 220 for my weight. I'd really like to be closer to 200 (or less, even) by marathon time. I know I'm sabotaging myself by eating; I've fallen out of the habit of really tracking my food and adhering to a healthy model. So besides sticking to my coach's exercise plan, I really want to double down on making sure I log ALL my food and keep track of the nutrients (I'm paying for premium here; I might as well use it to the fullest).

After those races are done, I might add in another triathlon or marathon. Depends on where I end up (I might be relocating this year) and how I feel.

So that's it. If any other fitness freaks (term of endearment, truly ) on here wish to contribute or want to add me as a friend, I'd be more than happy to discuss. Otherwise, good luck to everyone out there! Train hard! Do well!
