So I guess I'm starting a journal. I have a lot planned for this year and need to get on it. Do people still read these? Will I be talking to myself?
Let me say this from the start. I am not a runner. I don't plan to be a runner. I have no desire to run. But I'm a kick *** walker and a sometimes jogger. I'm creating this journal to get back into workout mode to complete for all the races I have on my schedule but also because I want to actually complete a live runDisney event in either 2023 or 2024. (Anyone ever do a race and NOT tell the kids??)
About Me: I'm 47, live in Colorado. Married, two kids, a cat and a dog, and a very busy and stressful job. The stressful job leads to stress eating and not doing any races has led to a bunch of unwanted pounds.
I've completed over 30 road, trail, and obstacle course races. But then covid hit and all the races were canceled so all I could do was sign up for virtual races except I was already lazy at that point so now I just have this pile of medals I need to work for. (See LONG list below!)
In 2016 my family and I traveled to Paris for vacation and went to DL Paris. I had signed up to do the runDisney Castle to Castle Challenge but I got injured while sightseeing in Paris so I couldn't do the half marathon there. I was heartbroken. I really wanted that medal! Maybe someday I'll get the chance again.
My goal this year is to increase my pace and endurance. I'm going to get back to using C25k method on my race training days. I'm trying to determine exactly what other exercise plan I want to get back to. I have Planet Fitness membership but I don't like going on my own. There's a HIIT gym nearby that I'm considering joining but I'm thinking about just getting back to the Beachbody workouts I already have. Decisions, decisions. More to come!
