Pounded out 107 miles in December, keeping with the 5 days a week schedule I've been using. 3 days of easy runs, 1 speedwork day, and 1 long run. Pretty happy that I was able to maintain that schedule thru the holidays too. Also, started Insanity Max 30 for cross training and so far am seeing some nice increases in speed.
Running Goals for 2015
I'm a big goal setter, so it goes without saying that I would be setting specific running goals for this year. Here are my top 4:
- Break 20 minutes in a 5K
- Break 50 minutes in a 10K
- Target 1:45 for a 1/2 marathon
- Complete my first full marathon
The first 3 are tough ones, but I know I can get there. The last one - completing my first full marathon - well now that one is a little daunting to me, but I know it will be mostly my mental will that will get me thru that one. Its been on my bucket list to do and so I am putting it down in writing!
Race Calendar (for first 1/2 of the year)
In an effort to hit the above goals, I've decided to tackle the following races
Village 10K on January 31st - this one is very close to where I live and will be a good test of the speedwork I've been doing
Cupids Cup 5K on February 14th - I've done this race once before and it is a pretty fast course so looking to see what the 2 months of Insanity Max 30 will help me gain here
Corporate Cup 1/2 Marathon on March 7th - I'm excited to try this race and course out
Racefest 10K on April 11th - this is the home of my first 1/2 marathon, but I am going to do the 10K instead on this one since it's only a month out from Corporate Cup
May & June are TBD
Run the Edge
Just for fun, I've decided to do a virtual year long race with Run the Edge to conquer 2,015 miles in 2015. I am not doing it alone - I have 2 other team members (Chad McCurry and Lori Croston). It's a fun way to stay on track with your running goals for the year.
