I was thinking this morning since it was my Dad's 88th birthday, I thought I needed to get back on track with my goals. I know I should be happy that my Dad is pain free and having a blast in Heaven doing everything he hasn't been able to do the last 10 years of his life. True, it's only been 41 days since he started a new life in Heaven, and I have not felt like doing my workouts consistently. I need to publicly state this to ask the support of my friends and relatives to hold me accountable with my goals.
So you may be asking what goals do I want to focus on. One goal for next year will be my first marathon (26.2 miles). So this year, I want to focus on getting stronger and doing some cross training that will build up my endurance and strength to keep me injury free. I may not be the fastest runner, but I do complete what I start. I know I have the dedication to succeed in anything I put my mind to.After a month and a half off of consistent weight training, I am going to focus on three days a week of weight training with cardio 2-3 days until October. Although I won't have weekends off to do training with my running club, I will have more fixed days where I can train consistently. In October, I will re-evaluate my training schedule if I have been consistent, I will increase my training times.
I do have a couple of races scheduled for November and December so I want to be confident in my training where the increase in miles will not be a problem.
I know my Dad is watching and cheering me which makes me PROUD in making this commitment of my health/exercise goals.
If you are wanting to make a commitment in your health/exercise goals, please feel free to message me. The more the merrier as we start making plans for our future!
Happy Birthday Dad! Mom is being well cared for, I love you!
