My goals for 2020 are to stay injury free and healthy. I am also possibly going to try again for my first half marathon.
3/2 - 3.1 miles
3/3. - 3.9 miles
Total- 7 miles - On track for the month.
I reached out to the race organizer and I am doing both races for sure. The 2 miler is first and will be a warm up. I go easy the first mile and push the second mile more. I will push and try to race the 5 miler as much as I can. I am mainly doing this race 1. Because it's a great cause and 2. Most of it is over the same roads I will run in my half if I can stay healthy enough to do it.
March goal : 80 miles
Plan goal: 86 miles
Allowing some leeway for bad weather and life happening.
Races:
March 14:
St. Malachi 2 mile and 5 mile
May 16:
Cleveland Marathon Half and 5k
June 13 - 14:
Run and Ride Cedar Point 5k or Quarter Marathon
September 20:
Cleveland Hero's Run 5 miler
December 5:

Huge goal outside of running is to study because I have a looming exam hanging over my head. It's approximately five hours divided up unequally into five different parts. But how this may affect my running is that I'll have to get out with little man during the day instead of in the evening and reserve those evening hours when husband is home for studying.
I registered for this Marathon last week. Like Austin Marathon, my only goal is to finish before time allotted. Then if I run this again in the future, I'll set higher goals and push harder. I'm excited! It's like an ala carte of running with varying races in the morning, afternoon and evening. Just an all day running festival!

January my uncle died, and in February I was in England with my mum helping to sort his estate, clear out the house and have his service & internment. I got back last week on Sunday & on Tuesday, I had to make the painful decision to put my faithful companion (aka my "fuzzy daughter") of 14 years, my Emma, to sleep thanks to "old dogs disease", a neurological thing that caused her to have no balance & unable to stand. Then my car started acting up. My left knee has been sore for almost a month, and now my right ankle is also sore! So far, 2020? Not a fan.
Anyway, when I was in the UK, I did take lots of walks. Long ones, 3 miles plus. I've not really been consistant since I got back (gee, wonder why?) so I decided to get to it. I do have a 5K in April on the calander, and a Jeff Galloway plan on my calander to guide me (not going to be 100% strict, have to be flexible).
I'm in. Can't give a milage, because I'm going to see how my knee holds up, but I will say my plan is to get back to running 2-3 times per week and still keep up with walking.
@mandabeth34 Your running companion is gorgeous! A Brittany Spaniel? I grew up with them, my father's fave breed. They are a bundle of energy, with personality to boot!12 -
@dreamer12151 So sorry to hear about your Emma.

March goal: get back to running 2-3 days per week. 5K in April
3/3 - Ran 1.76 miles (total: 1.76 miles)
Found a guided Nike run "Easy Run". Got ready, cued it up...and Mother Nature welcomed me with a nice snowfall! I let Coach Bennett help be through the paces and next thing I knew, I had done it, snow and all. Walk planned for tomorrow.11 -

I will finally be released to workout again post-op on Thursday. Having a few healing issues on one arm so I'm going to start fresh next Monday, but I honestly don't know how much running I'll be able to do right out the gate. The goal for March? Get back to running! By the end of the month if I can run a full mile (though secretly I would like to be back to my 5ks) I'll feel like I'm getting back on track.11

I am 60 posts behind from last night. Posting my run and will go back and read/respond later.
Today was my Tabata Tuesday! Not sure why but every time I try to do a Tabata Tuesday or Thursday it ends up being one of, if not the hottest day of the week. Today (81F so far) was no exception but I decided to go for it anyway. I did 5 sets of 8 intervals. The last set I was dieing but I got them done. Glad I did because my trainer texted to cancel our session tonight. I may get in some upper body at home or head over to the gym on my own. I definitely will be enjoying (not) my foam roller later!

@dreamer12151 Sounds like you've had a rough start to 2020. I"m so sorry about Emma. That must have been especially hard to come home to.1

@Duck_Puddle thank you!0

@Camaramandy648 - Happy Birthday! It is definitely good to celebrate yourself and so so special that Madison took it upon herself to make sure you have a special day! Like someone else mentioned, that has to be the best present ever!
@Teresa502 - thanks for asking about Hobbes. I am haven't taken him in to get checked yet but there is definitely something going on. He has moments where he seems fine and others where we can tell something is wrong. He was cold again at agility class last night and it was warm, but even with not feeling 100% (he wanted to just lean on me the entire time we weren't running) he ran so fast that I couldn't get ahead of him to provide directions on the course.
@mandabeth34 - How old is your pup? I got Hobbes the Vizsla (also very high energy) to be my running partner as well. Not sure what I will do when he gets older and can't run with me any longer, my runs won't be nearly as fun and will be so lonely!
@mbaker566 - so glad your back is better! Speed Demon always looks just so happy!
@dreamer12151 - I am so sorry about your Emma! They definitely do become part of our families and a hold huge place in our hearts. I hope the rest of your 2020 gets better!
Welcome @dcresider!3 -
Too many of you to tag!
Thank you so much for the birthday wishes! I'm certainly going to need to run that 3.5 because I think I've eaten half this cake. It's so freaking good and the slices are SO big... because I'm the one the cut them....
Yep, Madison has come so far. And my son gave me his Washington monument figurine that he got while he was in Washington last October. He said, "Mom, this was hard to give because I love it so much. But you're the one that sent me on the trip."
I thought I had many years to wait before I would see the seeds I've sown into my kids take root. But I am just melted and floored and amazed and so eternally grateful.
And grateful for all of you too!
And for one of my sisters (the least crazy one) WHO GAVE ME A GIFT CARD TO PTULA ACTIVE, A SITE THAT I WOULD NEVER ORDER FROM, NOT EVER, BECAUSE THEY ARE SO EXPENSIVE! AND they are having a 30% off sale today! So I got a big haul for very little. I'm very fortunate!!!!!!!! 16 -
It's my knees today... But that's because I'm wearing 10lb of lead in an operating room...2 -
Half marathons are tough enough and that's the furthest I've ever rain. I can't even fathom doing a full marathon because my time is to precious to train for it. Good luck to those who can though. (I once said I'd never run a half so you never know 8

Be very careful.
I once said "OMG A WHOLE 5K? THAT IS SOOOOO FAR!"
Then I said "A 10-mile race is the limit of insanity. I mean why run farther?"
Then I was "If I can just do a marathon..."
Then I was like "Well, a 50k is only a little farther..."
Some day I need to run an official 1/2 marathon race though.

@PastorVincent - The only reason why I run that far is because I'm training for a race. Otherwise, are you crazy to run that far for the fun of it? 1

Guess I went full crazy full speed. First chip I ever wore was for a full Marathon. I've done 5K's before but it was only to kick off the school year, not something I would do if I wasn't with coworkers. Never thought of 5K or 10K as long distance before. First 10K is this month 3 miles from my house (where I ran for training) and it was cheap. Half Marathon was my first choice because I didn't think I could run a Full but I'm glad I did, glad husband pushed me. Now if I have to drive a distance to get there, I want the Full experience and not to come home feeling like I cheated myself.7

this is the truth!
I was vehement that I was never doing a full. I didn’t have the time to train. It’s too much commitment to run as a second job for 6 months. Half’s are plenty-long enough to be long but not life consuming. I’m too slow so I really takes too much time. On and on and on. For years.
I just finished my second full and I already know I’m lying that I’m never doing another one. My next long race target is a 50k. Cause If I’m not doing another full, I’m surely ok to do something longer. *eyeroll at self emoji*9
